There are a lot labour members that joined Labour on the back of Corbyn's and McDonnell's Marxist ticket. There is also the big shadow of momentum although rejected by the electorate still loved by the party, and then there are the MPs and shadow cabinet members that thought their manifesto was a work of brilliance loved by voters but just not voted for.

Starmer has to somehow appease them and convince the electorate that they are moving towards the centre. it'll be interesting.
