Yes, it's unfair that Corbyn was destroyed by the establishment media, but this has been the reality in the UK for decades. And the British left has had no answer to this, and has largely allowed working class voters to drift away, focused on it's own interests in staying i https://twitter.com/BarristersHorse/status/1353423778500538368
in the middle class or actively driven ordinary voters away with idpol. The only thing that will counter the power of the press is to offer a project that people really relate to and see really material benefits for themselves in so that they will just brush off the media stuff.
Labour's 2019 manifesto pledges just felt too disparate and without an overall rationale except lets give nice things to poor people instead of rich people. If the British left just spends the next 20 years celebrating the mirage of the "victory" of 2017, which was still a defeat
en they're f**ked.

The day after their worst election result ever, having watched their voter base vote en masse for their traditional class enemy What did the the Labour Party do? They Trotted out Rebecca Wrong-Daily to talk about how the party was still committed to pushing
through legal recognition of more than two genders!

You've just lost a landslide, your voter base has collapsed , and your response is to... Double up on it, and reiterate?

It was just insane.
By the end it wasn't the Many against the few, it was a whole bunch of few's arguing against another few. Yes Palestine deserves support, but it is way down the list as a priority . A poor white family in Newcastle, a black single mother in Hackney, a middle class IT worker in
Glasgow, a Muslim teenager in Bradford, a poor pensioner in Merthyr, a comfortable family in Sussex is who we have to represent FIRST. That is what went wrong. People thought the left didn't like all British people in general, just a few separate bits of them
who filled the correct criteria, and were boring people who would lecture you in the pub.

The left has failed for the past decade and now a lot of people are dead. Of course we can blame the Tories for that, but they will do what they do. The Labour Party had one job in 2019
and they blew it.
