Sorry, no he didn't. Because we lost: in general elections, European elections and local elections again and again and again. Despite the massive membership.
This is why I just don't buy that 'Corbyn changed politics'. He did his best, sure - but the movement didn't move anywhere, even under his watch.
It's strange, looking back, how much potential was wasted. And not just because of PLP sabotage either. All very sad.
On the plus side, the Corbyn years did feel like being part of a movement, a determined and united collective - I hadn't felt like that before as a party member! It's just that the movement didn't actually move anywhere.

How big is the Tory membership? It's a heck of a lot smaller than Labour's even now... yet look at their majority. Money still matters.
So we have to think differently, act differently (Starmer falls down on both at present) and combine activism and Parliamentary politics together.
You want a way to inspire activists and force meaningful change? That's how you do it.
It is equally astonishing that Starmer hasn't considered it either. Both represent betrayals of democracy
