The Labour Candidate standing down is now the MP for Sefton Central see http://birkdalefocus.blogspot.com/2010/08/esterson-becoming-liability.html
What do Mike, Rob Sheffield, Republica, et al, make of this one? Any comments, gentlemen?
There are Labour tribalists who think that all they have to do is hold on to their core. Wrong. If Labour is to form a government, it has to win seats in the South.
In May, Labour was obliterated in Kent. And they are still losing. In solidly working-class towns with above average unemployment like Rochester and Chatham.
