The lesson is that you can’t win elections with no political direction or clear policies, he said. Labour also has to be the party rooted in the community it seeks to serve, which only comes from community organising. My only hope is that lessons are learnt.
Starmer has come under criticism over his perceived lack of direction as Labour leader since he started, from both inside and outside his party.

This result is a disaster. In 2017, we won over 50% of the vote in Hartlepool. Now it looks like we’ve lost it to the Tories.

Earlier this month, the Mail on Sunday ran an article that caused quite a stir: there was a hunt on “for a Redthroat mole at the heart of the government”. The columnist Dan Hodges claimed that, after the Cameron-Greensill lobby affair, Labour shadow ministers had received so many leaked texts “it was as if they had been sitting in the Treasury themselves”.
The suspicion in 1999 was that arch-Tories in the ranks of the civil service were deliberately hindering New Labourâs reforms via leaks to journalists. The BBC wanted a film about the early days of the Tony Blair government, and here was an enticing narrative of a battle fought between red Blairites and blue permanent secretaries.
Months of off-the-record interviews with special advisers and civil servants revealed nothing. There were later leaks in relation to the Iraq war, but the picture pre-2001 was more the slow-turning cogs of a bureaucratic institution, not a Sir Humphrey with âteethâ (as Hodges puts it). Blair was certainly reported to have fought against âobstruction and delay by mandarinsâ, but there was no blue fifth columnist.
