Labour stopped being the party of the working class a long time ago, I posted as much years ago on here.
Labour are now firmly entrenched in the politics of identity: BLM, Trans-rights, me too etc etc and most of the country doesn't give a monkeys about that. The quality of politicians within their ranks is poor, and they still haven't got their head around the fact that their previous heartlands think differently and have different issues than within their Metro-Westminster-Bubble.
They managed to lose Scotland, when they had a history of great Scottish Labour politicians and leaders - that alone made winning a general election difficult.
They are now losing the North, and once they've lost the North they'll never win a general election ever again.
