The people outside looked from Labour to Tory, and from Tory to Labour, but already it was impossible to say which was which.

1. Forced onto the work programme, Sheila died without regaining consciousness Image 2. A rare terminal cancer left David blind, but DWP still classed him as 'fit for work' Image

Thread: 1/10 Who is to blame for the loss of safe Labour seats in the North? Tony Blair & New Labour. Through all the social and economic devastation of the 80s & 90s those seats kept faith with Labour, hoping that the eventual election of a Labour govt 2/10 would rectify matters. What we got instead was more of the same Thatcherite policies with the North left to rot while Blair, Campbell & Co courted their new friends in the South. Labour become associated exclusively with minority causes & identity politics.
