    Police

    Just arrested a man because he crossed the road... group of people just watching quietly away towards the city centre and the police are screaming in their faces.

    First timers at St Andrews

    Same here - not that I haven’t wanted to go, just logistics and family circumstances have meant I’ve not been able to go until today! can’t wait

    New Labour Leader

    Again - don’t disagree. I think the reality is they knew their Brexit position was going to be dismissed unilaterally outside of the cosy Remain urban areas, so it was easier to focus on something else.

    Or naive in the sense that they were only targeting young people as they thought it would be enough to get over the line.

    surely MySpace is where it’s at?

    You mean mislead and lie.

    New Labour Leader

    I agree with this - I think they thought after 2017 that Facebook would be a redundant avenue and it was all about Twitter, Instagram and the like.

    New Labour Leader

    To be fair - irrespective of their agendas and splits, come election time they unite behind a single voice. Labour couldn’t follow suit.

    New Labour Leader

    The Labour Party became lost in 2010.

    New Labour Leader

    The thing is I don’t disagree on reflection. He has set a narrative and one that we should build on with a new leader. But I worry we lose the good things and slip back to being a party ambivalent on austerity.

    Exacerbated by the Brexit issue. It’s not a comparable measure.

    New Labour Leader

    Certainly not the effect it had in 2017. In my opinion this is because it was too London focused and too Remain focused. Maybe the infrastructure isn’t there outside of the big city areas. That said - Momentum have as much right to be a part of the Labour family as any other organisation or...

    Watched the whole thing - enjoyed it thoroughly.

    New Labour Leader

    Actually it did well where it campaigned - but was not diverse or wide ranging enough.

    New Labour Leader

    You could argue that Labour First and Progress should do the same thing. At least Momentum brought with them an organised and effective campaigning machine - the other 2 had nothing like this.

    New Labour Leader

    That’s true - but the membership got their choice the last 2 times and it didn’t stop a sizeable portion of people within the PLP actively undermining the leader both in 2017 and 2019. We can’t carry on like this or we won’t ever be able to unite. You only have to look at the ‘justification’...

    New Labour Leader

    And the factions will continue. The membership dynamic is completely at odds with the PLP dynamic. If the PLP win then the membership will disappear - and that’s the campaign arm of the party gone. If the membership win then the PLP will continue to just fight itself. I just can’t see anyone...

    I’m actually glad the one candidate that Murdoch might endorse is gone.
