He's a strange breed Maurice Glasman. Labour needs to explain to ALL people why they're currently mimicking Reform. And when they look at their polling numbers and do the autopsy, they need to understand that they've moved away from their voters not the other way around.

When will Labour realise that its voter base is diverse, urban and educated? Chasing after gammons in run-down industrial towns. The pits closed 40 years ago. They feel no obligation to vote for you. Loyalty to Labour exists in London and Manchester, not Lincoln and Mansfield. Don't fuck it up.

As a highly educated resident of a former mill and coal mining town I find your comments deeply offensive. Placing asylum seekers in already deeply deprived areas with no economic benefits to the residents of such towns is not a policy I support. It is degeneration not regeneration.

The Labour Government has to do the right thing for the country and especially for everyone that voted for them. The "working class" who are obsessed with immigration voted for the Tories and Reform. They have no special claim on government policy. Glasman should join Reform.
