First of all, congratulations to @Jill4Hartlepool on becoming MP for Hartlepool. That is a historic win - bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi… ... it's also a moment that Labour needs to reflect on. The anti-brexit / remain nonsense will continue to kill us at every election ...
@Jill4Hartlepool ... it is "not possible to blame Jeremy Corbyn for this result. Labour won the seat twice under his leadership" ... and the ... "strategy of isolating the left and replacing meaningful policy with empty buzzwords has comprehensively failed" ... says it all.
I do hope that Starmer does the honourable thing. It's about time we had a pro-brexit leader with strong roots in local issues that people could rally around ... someone like @SarahChampionMP
As much as I respect Starmer for what he has tried to do, it isn't working. it has alienated many and the fortunes of the party have only diminished. He is not the leader that Corbyn was. We need to rethink.
Oh, I give up.
Implying Hartlepool voters were bribed ... the problem isn't with the voters, it's with Labour, with its stance on brexit, its failure to listen ... the sooner that is realised, the better ->

X : Do you think it's just brexit?
Me : Brexit is the nail. The hammer is the simple issue that Labour is the party of the working class that the working class have rejected.

Oh, and before anyone says it ... the problem isn't with voters or Corbyn or that people have been bribed or they don't what they're doing or what's good for them or the CLPs didn't try hard enough or ... the problem is with Labour itself.
That's what needs to change.

Conservative make gains on English councils - bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi… ... I'm not surprised. Starmer needs to do the honourable thing here.
Alas, what I fear is people doubling down and endless half baked ideas that if Labour took a strong rejoin agenda and a more centrist position that it would win etc. I hope not, I hope we learn.
"to incinerate the politics of the far left" ... oh dear, the daftness. There won't be a Labour party if this continues. A better question might be to ask why the party of the working class has been abandoned by the working class - bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
This aged well ->
