Ian Smart @ianssmart • 14 Dec 19:30 GMT@lukeakehurst @pault199 I think the Burgon rumour has to be a joke, can't imagine a single MP that would back him, why they kept putting him on TV throughout the campaign was beyond me

Jacob Waldock @waldock_ • 14 Dec 18:33 GMT@lukeakehurst @colinrtalbot Stay and fight, eh? #EnoughIsEnough eh? If there isn't, a realignment, it will mean right wing hegemony. Your choice, not mine. But then I am no longer a tribalist

Luke Stanger @lukey_stanger • 14 Dec 17:15 GMT@LucyMPowell @lukeakehurst @steve_race Jeez. This was you. You did this. Even now, you seem completely incapable of taking any responsibility at all for it.
David Toube @ToubeDavid • 14 Dec 16:51 GMT@LucyMPowell @lukeakehurst @steve_race Doesn’t account for disaster in Scotland ... or was that already factored in?
Craig Prescott @prescottcraig • 14 Dec 16:24 GMT@lukeakehurst Can you remind us of the new leadership and deputy leadership process?
jonathan spencer @Misterjspencer • 14 Dec 16:19 GMTRT @siennamarla: Instead the small NEC officers group is going to decide the leadership election timetable, I’m told.

Peta VdB Steel @PetaSteel • 14 Dec 13:56 GMT@lukeakehurst difference though is McGovern won 23% of the democratic vote in primaries, so went into the campaign with a much more divided party. Labour's problems are worse: a party which overwhelmingly backs/ed a leader and platform which can't win in the country

Generally Helpful @WhyTheWestLost • 14 Dec 13:49 GMTThe problem with having a counter-cultural leader and supporters is that if you stand in opposition to the mainstream culture of a country you can't possibly win a democratic election.
Luke Akehurst @lukeakehurst • 14 Dec 13:36 GMT@599bt @lukeakehurst @DAaronovitch @ayeshahazarika Nothing about the party has changed. The post-election abuse and hate is as strong as ever. https://t.co/k3idxHJBKM

maxine cockerton @elliemae1206 • 14 Dec 13:29 GMT@MJCreighton @DAaronovitch @lukeakehurst @599bt @ayeshahazarika Can't help but feel this "review" is going to be a bit like BlackBerry execs 5 years ago scratching their heads asking why they've been overtaken by Apple and Samsung, and then concluding they need to stick to their guns as smart phone users will soon come to their senses.

Peta VdB Steel @PetaSteel • 14 Dec 13:14 GMT@DAaronovitch @lukeakehurst @599bt @ayeshahazarika The current leadership team are ensuring they retain all the levers of power to allow a chosen successor best run at another blind alley. It will take the organisation that @lukeakehurst suggests, but the forthright committed leadership of a single person to win against the odds.

Luke Akehurst @lukeakehurst • 14 Dec 12:50 GMT@johnmichaelw @DAaronovitch @599bt @ayeshahazarika Fine if you are happy being a spectator, spectate. Personally I prefer to try to shape the political future of the country I live in rather than let other people do things that affect me and my family.
Luke Akehurst @lukeakehurst • 14 Dec 12:39 GMT@PhotogMatty @LucyMPowell @steve_race That will be news to some of "my lot" like @spellar and @RuthSmeeth . Labour First includes people with a wide spectrum of opinions on Brexit.
Luke Akehurst @lukeakehurst • 14 Dec 12:32 GMT@LucyMPowell @lukeakehurst @steve_race What nonsense. You voted against the deal again and again. Anyway, your hopeful call for not being factional is ridiculous when the left are in charge of all institutions and are as you type either rigging the party for their successor or preparing to scuttle it.

Luke Akehurst @lukeakehurst • 14 Dec 09:27 GMT@DrRGSmith @lukeakehurst Momentum have nothing to do withJVL. And the JVL briefing was written by Jewish people and wasn’t an instruction about how to behave on the doorstep. So I don’t know what you mean?
Graham Mellors @GjMellors • 13 Dec 23:28 GMT@GjMellors @lukeakehurst It was very much along the lines of the JVL briefing note on how to deal with accusations of antisemitism. Jeremy was a secular saint. As they left, I shouted after them "You're destroying the Labour Party."
Robert Smith @DrRGSmith • 13 Dec 19:52 GMT@rk70534 @Smithy0364 @lukeakehurst @RedWedgie The absolute inability to be remotely self critical, this conspiratorial world view where NOTHING ever has to be your own fault is one that I am not going to miss. Good riddance to you and yours. You're done. Please leave graciously (as if).

Mark Smith @Smithy0364 • 13 Dec 13:07 GMT@davidwhitelab @lukeakehurst Perish the thought that you might want to actually try and learn some lessons from how Labour won three elections. Until you get over that, Labour will win sweet FA.

John Kennedy Jnr @JohnKennedyJnr • 13 Dec 10:34 GMT@lukeakehurst 1) is correct. 2) depends on how Labour responds to 1).
Dr Paul Davies #FBPE 🇪🇺🏴 @docdave60 • 12 Dec 23:55 GMT@scoobysusan10 @lukeakehurst A leader has to take responsibility and make the weather, this sort of special pleading is deeply unimpressive. He’s turned labour into a protest movement.
ZenoDEADCENTRE.com @ZenoDEADCENTRE1 • 11 Dec 23:14 GMT@lukeakehurst @TheWhittards Correct. I have relations who are ex miners in the North who are not going to vote. Refuse to vote Tory and state they cannot vote for Corbyn. That is the problem, the Leader

Arrgee_Mojito @W4RN3R1969 • 11 Dec 13:59 GMT@lukeakehurst Luke, I don’t know you at all but your name has cropped up a few times over the last few years. You mostly seem to be criticising the Labour Party - just wondering if maybe you’d be happier in another party - just a thought.
Tom Widdicombe @tom909 • 11 Dec 13:19 GMT@lukeakehurst You can't always get what you want. Do you really think that Blair or Brown would be in a better position now?

David Jackson ● @grumpyoldmale1 • 10 Dec 20:46 GMT@lukeakehurst Seems unnecessary, still using the same data with the same volunteers whether you enter it into an ap or write it on a board to enter later. GDPR shouldn’t be an issue
