Seat where I live has turned Tory but only just there was just under 600 votes in it.

Labour lost this election because back in 2017 they stood on a manifesto saying they would respect the EU referendum but after 2017, Corbyn sat on the fence trying to please both the Remainers and the Leavers in the party and in this election he said he would give another referendum on the issue. Labour have become too London centric and too middle class and they took the heartlands for granted, we have to remember a lot of the now former Labour heartlands voted Leave in the 2016 referendum and they felt ignored by Labour not just in the 2016 referendum but for such a long time. We also have to look at the fact that Corbyn was hugely disliked by the electorate and the manifesto was not realistic and just one big wish list.

I knew this was coming because he had no clear direction on Brexit, he should have come out for Leave and said he was going to get a deal instead of sitting on the fence and trying to please everyone.

Corbyn has to go now, I thought he should have gone after 2017 but people hailed 2017 as a win when it wasn't. Momentum, the militants, the marxists and the far left need to xxxx off otherwise Labour will never win another election. Labour need to move back to the centre left and the party needs a leader who can build a credible opposition who can take on the Tories but they also need to get out of this middle class, London, Westminister bubble and go to places like the North, Wales, Scotland and speak and ask the people what they want instead of thinking they know what's best for them. They need to work with the working classes and not just put an arm around them and say we are with you.

Labour have lost 4 elections in a row and it's very very likely they will lose in 2024 because of the big majority that the Conservatives have got it would have to take something really really special to overturn that.
