Interestingly, Blair never felt the need to go to war with the left on anything like the scale Starmer and his allies have. Corbyn was repeatedly reelected under Blair, for example.

True. But Blair also froze leftists (except those who'd recanted) out of the government, in contrast to Wilson, who tried to bring everybody in, left and right alike (including Michael Foot, the Corbyn of his day).
