There are some good people in Labour - Hilary Benn, Rachel Reeves Yvette Cooper, Caroline Flint, Lisa Nandy etc - who have been marginalised in favour of John Macdonald, Dianne Abbot, Rebecca Long Bailey and Laura Pidcock to name a few. None of these are appealing to a moderate electorate. Had Labour had a different leader and different front bench they could have walked this election. But they committed electoral suicide by pursuing policies that were simply too radical. Now we have to put up with the untrustworthy buffoon Boris Johnson but given the alternative I'm glad.
That's utter shit. There's lots of support for Labour policies but the media and the establishment runs the country.
