It's all rather dispiriting. The 'left' in the Labour Party are lying low, waiting to see how things pan out after the next election, when Labour is supposed to take over. The left don't appear to have any independent voice anymore and have been handed a role they may not be happy with, but it's better than the alternatives on offer. Only their role is to have, no role, and after the election Starmer will probably wipe away even that. I always thought that Corbyn's stint, was proably going to end badly for the left, because most of the MPs were against everything he stood for and the political system no longer had a place for social democracy. Corbyn and his supporters, unfortunately, never understood this, and, therefore, couldn't take the necessessary measures to defend themselves against the onslaught that was coming. They were totally out of their depth and Corbyn himself had been elevated way, wary, beyond his pay grade. What's unexscusable is that the left don't have a coherent strategy in relation to power in society as it's configured now, let alone one for changing the power structure! I think it's telling that the left around the Labour Party don't actually talk that much about Power anymore. Corbyn himself, didn't even seem very comfortable with the concept of power, itself. That had disasterous consequences.
