  • Some things that won't improve Labours chances at the next election:

    • blaming media bias
    • blaming the 'ignorance' of working class voters who voted Tory
    • blaming Brexit for this result

    Some things that well:

    • root and branch disavowal and eradication of anti-semitism
    • a leader who is not tainted by negative associations
    • a more pragmatic policy offering (i.e. no four day week and free broadband). If you really believe you can deliver the radical stuff, earn the right to do it in a second term, but deliver the bread and butter (NHS, education, social care) in the first term
    • less rhetoric framed in Marxism and class war.

    The tragedy of Corbyn / momentum is that they want a full socialist Utopia or nothing at all. But Britain is a small 'c' conservative country - that is the fundamental starting point you need to work from.
