Yep, that's where I am. That isn't where society, the Labour Party or this forum is at IMHO.
28% of people that voted Labour in 2017 didn't vote for them in 2019, in those two years the Tories spent most of it as a complete cluster f**k yet romped to a landslide win. That win wasn't so much because they gained millions of votes, more to do with Labour losing millions of votes. If Labour are going to be a political force again they need to get that 28% back and more on top. I found it very odd that in The Guardians "5 reasons people didn't vote Labour" Anti Semitism wasn't one of them, I don't know if that's because the Guardian believe Anti Semitism isn't important or they believe Labour Voters don't think its important. Looking at this thread it seems my reasons for not voting Labour have caused more of a stir than Anti Semitism itself, maybe there is a clue there. The usual suspects will be on the Covid thread and others waiting to jump all over any post that in any way suggests regional spikes may have anything to do with behaviour within minority groups. Their silence on this thread speaks volumes.
Starmer has done the right thing in booting out Long Bailey but the far left haven't gone anywhere. Will he keep them quiet and make Labour electable again? I've not seen a great deal of the shadow cabinet but what I have seen hasn't impressed me at all, for me Andy Burnham is streets ahead of them all.
