Labour Leader Keir Starmer’s speech, in which he suggested his party deserved to lose the 2019 election under Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership, has been ridiculed online as being self-defeating and full of “meaningless platitudes.” “When you lose an election in a democracy, you deserve to,” Starmer said during a Tuesday press conference.
