"The leave vote was about community, belonging and identity and whether you agree with that or not I don't think you should sneer at it," says former Vote Leave chair @GiselaStuart#r4Today | @JustinOnWeb | https://t.co/GdYArEE2HU
Labour cannot simply be a party of big cities and university towns. Nor just a party of the young. Or a party of devoted Remainers. We must be a party of labour. A party close to working class people. People we haven’t listened to or respected enough.
@DavidLammy decides now is the moment to take a stand on antisemitism. David just campaigned to help an antisemite enter No10 . Meanwhile Leave voters - who Remainers like to say are "thick" and "racist" - voted to make sure Corbyn couldn't run the country. Funny old world.
The next leader has a mammoth task. The first job is to apologise deeply to Jewish people and begin to recover their trust. Then we need to rebuild our movement around the tough lessons we have learned. If we fail, we get a full decade of Boris Johnson in Number 10.
Labour has paid a bitter price for failing to understand its voters, ignoring their revulstion at antisemitism, rejection of extremism and its Remain obsession.
The disasterous election result for Labour was in part because Labour's Remainers ignored Leave voters but left ideology and anti-Jewish racism cost Labour support too.
There is no mandate for a second referendum or a Brexit blocking Parliament. Labour MPs were elected on promises to deliver Brexit. They should stop making up excuses, vote for an election and face the voters with their new position.
Johnson under pressure on workers rights. Fascinating here to watch so many MPs struggle with the concept that they - or their successors - will decide. They've got so used to the EU deciding this stuff they can't get their heads round the idea they and British voters can do it.
It was mere months ago when Philip Hammond said that Boris would never get the EU to reopen the Withdrawal Agreement... yet that's exactly what he's done. #WrongThenWrongNow
Every MP elected under the Conservative banner was elected on manifesto and core campaign promises to leave the Single Market and Customs Union. They must not break that promise.
