This is clearly a bad night for Labour, which requires careful analysis.
But it could be much worse than a bad night for all those who rely on our public services and the NHS.
Which means we still need a leadership that fights for the many, not the few.

How many of the poor who voted Tory at this #GeneralElection will be alive for the next one?

I am deeply ashamed at what happened in #GeneralElection2019 because too many journalists were asleep at the switch or coopted by their wealth to demonize Corbyn whilst portraying Boris Johnson as the lovable posh lad who can call black people "picannies," but not be a racist.

It was an amazing privilege to represent my home town in parliament.
I've always stood by my principles and I always will. That was and is - my way.

Neoliberal centrists will claim Labour's loss is because Corbyn was "too left-wing," but it's the opposite: He should have campaigned for a socialist Brexit
Calling for a new referendum was a mistake. They already had one—a majority supported leaving the EU! You can't erase that

Labour lose Leigh by less than 2,000 votes on a turnout of 60%.
Turnout healthy in London, down in Labour leave seats.
The clear and primary variable regarding the party's performance is its position on Brexit.

The right wing Israeli government is openly advocating against Corbyn, falsely labeling him anti-semitic due to his support for Palestinian rights. Typical mobile.reuters.com/article/a…

Thanks. It's striking, those who claim they want to improve or open or even just maintain the United Nations who do nothing when @AntonioGuterres doesn't disclose his financial links to a @SDNYLIVE-convicted UN briber CEFC China Energy & bans the Press which asks
Replying to @antonioguterres
@antonioguterres and @MelissaFleming banning of @innercitypress from covering the @UN_Cameroon is indicative of how corrupt and dictatorial the UN under @antonioguterres has become and now a threat to Free Press and transparency. @CNN @AJEnglish @CIJ_ICJ @CNBC @BBCWorld @USAmbUN

Getting a lot of angry replies from people in complete denial that years of plutocratic media smears could possibly have had any effect on the #UKElection whatsoever. Right. That's why that whole "advertising" fad never made any money.
There was extreme election interference in the #UKElection. It didn't come from the Russians. It didn't come from the Chinese. It came from the billionaire class and its political/media lackeys. And it was perfectly legal.

For four years, Jeremy Corbyn was smeared in a relentless and savage campaign of vilification and outrageous slander by the British press, much of it orchestrated by liberal outlets like The Guardian. But it's the poor who will bear the brunt of what they have wrought.

Labour (8k maj) could be in trouble in Worsley and Eccles South, with Tories saying they are "quietly confident" of a close finish. Corbyn, strikes/nationalisation and the @afneil interview mentioned most on doorsteps.
Salford has not returned a Tory MP since before WW2.
