So Hartlepool is waking up to being represented by a Conservative MP for the first time in 50 years.
This should put a massive shockwave through the Labour party and knock some sense into them. But from what I'm hearing, that's not the case. The hard left are blaming Kier Starmer for the loss of the seat without one iota of introspection.
The problem isn't Kier Starmer per-se (although he has that Blairesque air about him: instant dislike for many).
The main problem for the Labour party are the people beneath Keir and their ideology, the rabidly lefty loons that have not idea how hated their policies are by the working class. In fact the working class would rather vote Conservative than Labour at this point in time, rather kill their first born than vote Labour.
The reality is that the Conservatives (to the disdain of traditional Tories) have occupied the centre-left of politics. Unfortunately, Labour from their far, far left position still see the Tories as far-right. Any sane person can see the reality, but Labour are failing to see it. The far-left loonies will also do their damndest to prevent any move of Labour policy towards the Tories. QED they are F**ked.
The majority of the Labour party neither understands the working class it is purported to represent, nor does it espouse policies that resonate with them. Labour have lost the working class vote. I put "working" in italics to emphasise the problem.
If you are working, paying taxes and trying to make something of yourself, then the Labour party have nothing to offer you. Except higher taxes, mad policies, more intrusion into your life, etc.
They do however have lots to offer the non-working class, like illegal immigrants and those out of work on benefits it seems from their many interviews. They have lots of policies for the pink or blue-haired, lip-pierced university types. They have lots of policies for minorities (there's a clue there why you keep losing).
They also have lots of "Woke" policies that should really stay on University campuses rather than be Government policy. More intrusion into your private affairs, the inability to have free discussion, the cancel culture that pervades the left, the inability to debate, the inability to see inequality, the list goes on.
The ideology that cannot debate with anyone that votes Conservative. The ideology that cannot understand why a working class person would do such a thing. The ideology that cuts them off . The ideology that cannot change. The ideology that hates Britain. The ideology that hates British people.
If you want change, real change Jess, if you want Labour in power Jess, then resign. Because you, your ideology and people in the Labour party with the same ideology are the problem.
Yes, the working class want the Labour party to change, but you are not the change they want.
