“The loudest voices in the Labour movement over the past year in particular have focused more on pulling down Churchill’s statue than they have on helping people pull themselves up in the world,” Mahmood wrote
London-based bourgeoisie ,champagne socialist ,Islington Metropolitan Elite have been around for a Generation from Blair , Corbyn though to Sir Kier its turned the voter away .. Even exists in Wales .

Everyone involved shares some blame, but you are mostly looking in the wrong direction. Corbyn, Momentum etc are not responsible for the civil war that crippled Labour - they were the main targets.
Its over jon
There is no way back from this now
We have lost seats in working class towns like Bolsover, in towns in the mining and ship building areas of the North East
The local authority power base in the metropolitan areas and big cities is eroding
They ain't coming back

You just carry on endorsing a Tory lite Labour Party, Hun, Most of the problems with addiction, Depression, Homeless etc are caused through cuts in services, something your beloved Centrist crew would undoubtedly continue. You're part of the problem me old lover...

Can you tell me how living in tooting in 1977 , shouting power to the people but not actually getting any power to do anything about it is going to help addiction , mental ill health etc ?
I mean having a good old meeting of the socialist workers student society round your house is a good laugh but it doesn't win you elections . Moving to the centre is not the end of civilisation as long as social policy is paramout .
Its 2021 , this country has always been to right with a small c , those of us who can't stand the conservatives have to lower our expectations and try and get what we can
Or forever be shouting from the sidelines in opposition
Electoral reform and a centre left rainbow alliance is the way to defeat the blue machine
Like it or get off the bus

I love the way you portray me. I was in business for 22 years, a sole trader who employed 1 person. Lower Taxation and less regulation would've suited me down to the ground. I grafted, all over the UK. A Tory government wouldn't have hurt my pocket. It's not about that though, is it?

Under this Government taxation is at its highest since 1964 [ 1950's if you include VAT]
Re: Hammering For Labour In Hartlepool
Labour have won the mayor position in West of England and Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. Labour have an issue with northern English towns but are growing stronger in cities and in the south of England.
Is that where the young have migrated to because it's where the majority of jobs are following Blair's globalization and then Tory austerity targeting northern England/Labour heartlands?
Re: Hammering For Labour In Hartlepool
ITV news interviewed voters in Hartlepool on why they voted Conservative.
Cuts in local authority services were blamed on the Labour council rather than 10 years of Tory austerity.
Etonian toff and Bullingdon club member Boris Johnson was described by a woman as probably more of a North East type of person so you could relate to him.
The Tories know if you cloak your policies in the Union Jack you can persuade the many to vote in favour of the few. They must wake up every morning shaking their heads at how they get away with it.
Re: Hammering For Labour In Hartlepool
Yesterday:
Sir Kier Starmer takes full responsibility for Labours poor election results
Today:
Angela Raynor sacked as Labour Party Chair and National Campaign Coordinator.
Not sure this will end well

I do think the two posts before this one should be paid attention to:
I) Labour are growing in cities and the south of England
Ii) Tories must laugh at how easy it is. Most of their politicians having nothing in common with Hartlepool and yet towns like this think they speak the same language - we all know there is a lack of substance and waiting to see if anyone cares.
But this story will now dominate rest of the week. Own goal.
FFS!! Time to take a break.

The working class pro Labour vote that has been lost will see in time that they will be dumped and left behind once the conservatives have used them
What needs to happen now , in England at least , is the formation of an alternative mainstream party to win back those voters when they realise they have been conned
They are not going to return to Labour, its dead . Dead in Scotland and dying in England .
Its all over , its 2021 and I hope those that don't vote tory can be offered an alternative
Those of a centre left , middle ground and former Liberal voting persuasion can be united and if the Labour brand in England is dropped and a clean slate is offered that core Labour vote may join up .
Otherwise its curtains
