That article Starmer's Socialist Alternatives ( https://www.thesocialreview.co.uk/2020/05/28/starmers-socialist-alternatives/ ) is just another reminder that the cabinets of both Tony Blair and Gordon Brown were filled with both ex-Trotskyists and ex-Stalinists. Nothing really surprising here. For quite a long time, one of the functions of the far left in Britain has been to provide training grounds for future Labour Party politicians. More often than not, by the time these people became successful politicians they have usually shed most of their earlier radical commitments.
