so i guess with UKIP no longer being relevant, Labour has been exposed as even more incompetent than we thought

    Voters are punishing Labour for not purging Corbyn's violent Stalinist antisemitism hard enough. If sir Keith wants to win back voters he has to go further to the right.

      The start of a Guardian article sent to me this morning by a family member:

      While Labour had accepted the early results were likely to be among the worst of the series of votes across all of the UK except Northern Ireland, the immediate message from Starmer and his allies was to push for a more rapid move away from the Jeremy Corbyn era.

      Labour was “not yet changing fast enough” to win back the support of voters, the shadow communities secretary, Steve Reed, said.

      Speaking to ITV’s Good Morning Britain, Reed said it had been “a very difficult and disappointing night”.

      He said: “It tells us something we need to know. Although the Labour party is changing, we’re clearly not yet changing fast enough to win back the trust that has been lost over recent years.”

      The party’s problems “run very, very deep”, Reed said, adding: “It was always going to take more than a year, given the breakdown in trust between the Labour party and very many people right across this country.

        Sir Keith is on the right track. The results shows that people want Tories so for Labour to win it has to become at least as Tory as the Tories.

        Once sir Keith casts off the yoke of Corbyn's antisemitism and comes out as a clear supporter of bringing back fox hunting but with refugees and the unemployed instead of foxes, the people will flock to the Labour party.
