Labour (or at least parts of it) have seemed curiously disinterested in winning as an aim for years (maybe for different reasons at different times). This feels more deep seated than just wanting to purge the left. Strong Department of the Opposition vibes for sure, but I don't know how much of that is actually 4D chess though (unless making himself a laughing stock and leaving himself vulnerable to leadership challenges is all part of the plan)
Feels a larger part of the disarray is just smoothbrains in action (at least the frontpeople that we see anyway)
