Keir Starmer now has control of his party. But he risks alienating the very people Labour needs to embraceKeir Starmer at Torriano School in Camden, London, 29 June.s far as Labour is concerned, Keir Starmer is now master of all he surveys. A landslide victory among the party’s membership was accompanied by his appointment of the national executive committee’s general secretary, and with it control of the party machine.
Nothing new there then.
Has he looked at the demographics of the ‘red wall’ seats we lost and what it takes to actually win an election?
Get over it - JC wasn’t popular with the party or the electorate but now that Labour has a leader who is popular with the party and in the polls the far left neo Marxists minority are determined to betray the working classes for ideology
I think too many people see the party as a place to pick up hashtags to curate the right social media profile and are now annoyed that they may actually want to be a party of government.
Nope. It’s to shake off the marxist hard left idiots that have hijacked the party and made them unelectable
Labour must assure the voter that the voter's best interests are what matters. Not ideology, not adversarial politics, not virtue signals.
Pretty sure they only have young and minority voters. The gave up on the majority years ago
OwenJones84 'When Starmer sits on the fence on trans rights, the leadership should be taught a lesson: that for younger people, LGBTQ rights are an article of faith'. They have inquisitions and witch burning and everything.
OwenJones84 Once again Owen Jones demonstrates that he is one of the few people within the Guardian worth reading. The political editorial group need sacking.
Who is working to deprive the young and minorities of their future?
What about the working class, or have you just accepted that you have lost them for good
OwenJones84 Personally my bigger struggle is currently caring about critiques of the Labour Party when the current party in power are literally pissing on our covid riddled corpses 🤷🏻♂️
JoanDevizes I would have thought that it's real struggle was to reestablish, or even establish, some integrity.
Owen's struggle is to keep them young and minority voters.
I can mute Owen Jones but this I cannot stop 🤔 .... maybe I should also block the words ‘Owen Jones’? But wouldn’t I miss those tweets where people say ‘Owen Jones is a prick’? Dilemma.
anybody that listen to that prick needs there head examined
Horse manure
This is not something to worry about. Labour could look to form a coaliton with the Lib Dems and the Greens. An arrangement with the SNP and Plaid is also possible, but would be unpopular with the right in England.
Its about attracting voters...........full stop. Not niche activists.
I would have thought it was the working class Labour needed to win back, considering it was there they last vast majority of their support? And tell me, what would even e the point of a Starmer government over any other Conservative government?
OwenJones84 I will be voting for the Greens. Labour are a party of hypocrites, charlatans and Bliarite wasters. Starmer is a central member of the Establishment and Bliar with greasier hair.
'Young' = white middle-class tranny Twitter fanatics with sociology degrees. 'Minority' = democracy and jew-hating Islamists
Posted without further comment.
shame they forgot the white workingclass eh owen
Labour's real struggle is that the likes of Owen Jones, afua Hirsch, ash Sarkar et al appear to be Tory shills making left wing politics unpalatable and unelectable. Without their voices, as 'representative', labour's stock would rise markedly.
OwenJones84 Blaire managed a majority without those voters and Corbyn didn't win over the minorities and certainly not the large numbers from Indian & Bangladeshi backgrounds...or the Jews.
Without Scottish Labour voters I find it difficult to see how they will ever win aGeneral Election.
OwenJones84 Keeping the young and minority votes is one thing, but gaining votes from older voters is the only way they're ever going to re-gain power.
I’d say judging from the last election, the electorate knows that already
Yeah didn't they try to do that in the last election and Tory got loads of working class votes and got a majority
OwenJones84 Labours real problem lies in not everyone pulling in the same direction! Surely the most important thing is to get back into government and that won’t happen while we’re fighting with each other!
Why do you think they keep trying to import them! They no longer represent the working class they are the Marxist Silverspoon Party and represent the refugee class, the anti-British class and the enemies of Britain.

Shame on Owen Jones to rely on the stupidity and naively of youth
OwenJones84 I’m young and think he’s 100x better than Corbyn.
OwenJones84 I mean it kind of is left vs right though — labour was created to be a left wing party, surely centrists should be in a centrist party, not taking over the left wing one? I sure as hell won’t be voting for Starmer, no matter how hard he tries to pander to young people
Labour’s real struggle is - currently and often historically - getting actually elected.
Yeah, because those demographics really helped them in the last election.
Labour's real struggle is working class vs ruling class.
