Starmer has kicked a lot of them out anyway, the ones that remain have no power base and are fractured themselves these days between the old SWP lot and the newer generation. Momentum is pretty much finished and the parts of the left-wing base that remain behind Corbyn have gone off to the Greens.
I think if Labour fail in Government it won't be because they try to go too left-wing.
