But he's RIGHT, isn't he. I don't care which side of the party you're on, if you can't hear the truth of what he's saying we're all in trouble.
ReekBlefs-
Can someone point me to the evidence/polling that the Labour's PV Brexit gained more votes than it lost pls.
I missed that memo.

He's right about some things - and I think I'd rather have shit Labour in power than any Tories.
But he's also very selective with the information he chooses.
I liked the part where he talks about what united Labour in the 1940s, despite the relative extremes of Bevin and Bevan.
But he has to accept his part in making the divides in Labour irreconcilable since 2015.
By all accounts, Corbyn and his team were very poor people managers, and very abrasive - but he was undermined consistently by people who seemed incredibly bitter that they weren't getting their way, and so it's a bit rich for Blair to talk about the lack of a shared vision now.

That smug tone is sure to heal the divisions.
I wonder what would happen if Blair had brought in the electoral system recommended by the Jenkins Commission and we'd got more used to consensus politics and a more representative Parliament. UKIP could have been a real electoral force and killed off the Conservatives by being a more viable alternative for defectors.
Or imagine Blair without the Iraq War instead - the Lib Dems may have been a lot less popular in 2010.
