I would have liked to have seen Caroline Flint or Laura Smith as leader but they lost their seats. Tracy Brabin or Dan Jarvis would be alright in my opinion. It looks like it will be Rebecca Long-Bailey for the leadership and Richard Burgon as the Deputy leadership.

Momentum don't seem to understand that membership of the Labour Party doesn't win elections. 500,000 isn't going to win a General Election. It's the same with social media, on social media on Wednesday/Thursday the young generation thought that Labour were going to win because of everyone they follow or are friends with were voting Labour but the thing is they live in echo chambers online on Twitter and Facebook etc and if you don't agree with them then they will block you. Social media isn't representative of the country and how the country thinks. Twitter and Facebook isn't real life. Yes Labour were loud online but they were also aggressive especially Momentum activists who were hiding behind keyboards and also avatars, I noticed that if someone had a different opinion to them on a policy or anything they would tell them to 'xxxx off and join the tories'.

The silent majority are the one's who will help win elections. This happened in the EU referendum and the Scottish independence referendum and it will happen again if there is another Scottish independence referendum. By shouting people down online or giving them verbal abuse isn't going to get them to come round to your way of thinking, you have to do that by being calm, using facts and using rational debate and logic. People need to realise that everyone will have different views and opinions and people might not like that or agree with it but it's life and the more you scream and shout and give abuse the more that people will stick by those views and opinions.

Corbyn wanted to create a 'kinder and gentler politics' but I think it's gone totally opposite the other way round. Politics in this country is so divisive and there is a lot of anger going around on both sides of the debate and the whole of the Country is split into two camps, Remain or Leave or Labour and Conservative. The same will be happening in Scotland where people are split into independence or unionists. A lot of people on Friday morning said to people who didn't vote Conservative 'You lost get over it' or calling them 'Losers'. I'm sorry but politics isn't a football match where the team which lost goes home until the next match, it doesn't work like that because when one person loses out we all lose out.

Brexit has divided the country, it has divided communities, families, friendships, generations and it is now dividing our politics. There is no right or wrong answer to it either, it's like a rhetorical question, everyone has a different view and opinion on it and there will never be a general consensus on the matter. One person is responsible for all this mess and that person is David Cameron, he put party politics and his own ambition over the country and it backfired and history will not look too kindly on him.
