Absolutely dead right.
Labour were on the spot when NATO was formed. I think Ernie Bevan was one of the prime movers.
Get rid now, not just because it’s electorally prudent but because it’s the Right Thing To Do
Corbynite eejits. NATO only expands when countries ask to be part of it, unlike the USSR.
Tbf to him Starmer addressed this 3 weeks ago :

https://amp.theguardian.com/politics/2022/feb/10/keir-starmer-says-stop-the-war-coalition-gives-help-to-authoritarians-like-putin

Keir Starmer has launched an outspoken attack on the Stop the War coalition, in which Jeremy Corbyn is a leading figure, effectively accusing the campaign group of siding with Russia against Nato.
In an opinion article for the Guardian, written on the way to Brussels where he reaffirmed Labour’s staunch support for Nato, Starmer says Stop the War are “not benign voices for peace”.
“At best they are naive, at worst they actively give succour to authoritarian leaders who directly threaten democracies. There is nothing progressive in showing solidarity with the aggressor when our allies need our solidarity and – crucially – our practical assistance now more than ever.”

He said Putin’s regime would see Stop the War protesters in the UK as “virtue signallers” who were “providing a smokescreen so it can go on beating up and jailing those brave individuals that dare to stand up to its despotism on the streets of Russia”.
He accused the group of a “kneejerk reflex: ‘Britain, Canada, the United States, France – wrong; their enemies – right’.”

He has done what he needs to for now
I daresay he will take further action when deemed necessary against the fruit loops like Abbott and McDonnell


Didn't the majority of them back down and change their stance when threatened with losing the whip?

All eleven MPs withdrew their signatures.
//Mr McDonnell is due to speak alongside Jeremy Corbyn at a Stop the War rally in central London tonight.//

That will make interesting listening.
Personally I think NATO is past its sell by date. I would like to see it replaced possibly as one single unit with the UN, another body well past its sell by date). Needs better formal agreements and commitments to join. i.e. if your in then pay to have your say.

However I dont think now is the right time to discuss it.
