In 2017 with the same leader and a similar manifesto we gained 3m votes.
What changed? This became a Brexit election.
Winning back the voters we lost and rebuilding will require careful analysis. Just as it did when we lost 5m votes from 1997-2010 by backing austerity & war.
@davidschneider @KevinTurveyRIP You didn't exactly help. You spread the AS smears, and ignored actual AS in the Tory and LibDems. You own this shit show, I hope you are proud of yourself!
@paulmasonnews Paul, they have the BBC, Sky, C4, 99%of the press, all the fucking billionaires and Steve Bannon, Cambridge Analytica, the list goes on and on. What have we got? Empathy. We'll I'll tell you now the system is rigged, there will never be a socialist elected, never.
I promised @UKLabour would run the biggest people powered campaign our country has ever seen.
And you, our members and supporters, have done just that.
You're the heart of our party, and you have campaigned tirelessly to win so we can a build a fairer country.
I thank you all.
Biggest story of the election is the sheer number of volunteers for Labour and how much time people are dedicating to campaigning. If people think Corbynism is about Corbyn not ideas, and the party will snap back to Blairism, they’re in for a shock on top of a defeat & battle.
President Franklin Roosevelt led the US out of the Great Depression.
But he had to take on the rich and powerful to do it.
He knew that when you’re serious about real change, the profiteers of a rigged system won’t give up without a fight.

If you’re a worker who is currently paid the minimum wage, with Labour you will get an immediate pay rise of between £3,444 and £5,986.

Today Grimsby will become a Tory seat
Turnout among the young is incredibly low.
Half the children in this seat live in poverty. Labour had a plan for free school dinners & breakfasts as well as 100,000 new Council Homes.
It is not too late to reverse this. The vote is close
Less than 3 hours left to vote!
Vote for the NHS
Vote to tackle the climate crisis
Vote for an end to the Tory Brexit chaos
Vote for a £10 minimum wage
