This sounds superficially radical, but it's ultimately another variation on "nothing to see here". Let's get a clear picture of what the "disgruntled officers" (and their faction as a whole) actually did, and then we can judge whether Corbyn should have been able to defeat them.
The national broadcaster paraded some of those "disgruntled officers" before the British public as "whistleblowers" who had taken a courageous stand against racism. Starmer has endorsed that image by giving them a big payout. A clear-eyed look at their record is long overdue.
This also misrepresents the dynamic: it's not that you have the Labour right here, and the other entrenched interests and obstacles over there. Labour's right faction is linked by countless threads to all of those interests (not least the "deep state").

Just one of those threads here (be in no doubt, this guy doesn't mean Johnson is a hero *despite* covering up for torture; it's precisely the willingness to do things like that that is considered heroic in such circles).
