Jeremy Corbyn was the Leader in 2017, and the manifesto was very left-wing indeed, but the result was not a Conservative MP for Burnhope. This has happened because of the insulting call for a second referendum on Brexit, and the donkey daft suggestion that Corbyn, as Prime Minister, might have stayed neutral in it.
With scores of bred-in-the-bone anti-Thatcherite seats to hold onto, Boris Johnson is now going to implement much of Corbyn's economic programme even as he blusters on about Venezuela or wherever, and even as Labour MPs reposition their party well to the economic right of a Conservative Government.
Damn right, I'm standing again in 2024. Please give generously.
Your standing in 2024 will, as this year, further aid the Conservatives by splitting the left.
ReplyDeleteHad you and the other independents not stood... there would have been no Tory majority in NWDurham. The zionist daughters of Thatcher thank you for your help.
The Zionist Daughters of Thatcher are probably too young to know the story of me and the Labour nomination here. Having now lost this seat, then Labour can have any other one that it wants, but never again this one while there is breath in my body. I have waited a long time for this. By 2024, it will have been more than 20 years.
DeleteMost people who voted for Watts would never have voted Labour. Nor, to my certain knowledge, would several who voted for me, although I also know that some of my voters were sitting Labour Councillors. Given that the Conservative Party took enough votes to win, then it is far more likely that most of the 3,193 Brexit Party voters were ex-Labour. Labour lost by 1,144. It was about Brexit.
