Shit candidate, shit campaign, and a leadership which has been as good as useless for the last year. This is of course combined with the very real disintegration of Labour's 'traditional' base and other structural factors. However, just watch as the leadership try to find a way to pin this on Corbyn, who held the seat in 2019 and 2017 (in the latter on a greatly increased majority). Will this massive defeat convince them to change strategy? I won't hold my breath.
Meanwhile signs of a landslide victory for Andy Burnham—a politician whose remit is very different admittedly, but who has spent the last year or so demonstrating substantial opposition to the Tories.
