Labour Party to call it a day
7th May 2021
THE Labour Party has announced it is to be formally wound up after losing the Hartlepool by-election.
After 121 years as a political party and 99 years as the official opposition, the party has agreed that its best years are behind it and it would only embarrass itself by limping on further.
Sir Keir Starmer, who has been appointed as executor, said: “We’d all had a chat and decided that if we lost Hartlepool then the time had come to go our separate ways.
“We had a good run and we’ve got some great memories. Harold Wilson, Tony Blair, creating the NHS, it’s a fantastic track record and we don’t want to spoil it.
