So currently in the UK, Labour must rely on Wales, the odd pocket in rural England, inner cities and university students. Can it be turned around? I won't say never, but it needs a groundswell of change like we saw when Blair came in, with some pretty bright operators behind him. If Labour move to the left, to a model closer to socialism, they'll fail in my view. England, anyway, is not receptive to socialism. Voters are aspirational. They have no problem in one person making lots of money, so long as they have a fair chance of doing something similar for themselves and their own families.

They should aspire to being part of the metropolitan elite like me. Then they would vote Labour.

They'd have to get on their bike to do it. You're sounding like Norman Tebbit.

Interesting that Tory policy is moving from - go travel and find a job - to, we'll bring industries with jobs to you. A good move if they can pull it off.

Keir Starmer walks into a bank: "Good morning could you please cash this cheque for me?”
Cashier: "It would be my pleasure Sir, but could you please show me some identification?"
Keir: "I did not bring my ID with me as I didn't think there was any need to. I'm Keir Starmer The Labour leader.”
Cashier: "Yes, I know who you are Sir but with all the bank regulations, monitoring, impostors and forgers etc. I must insist on seeing some identification.”
Keir: “Just ask any of the customers here at the bank who I am and they will tell you. Everybody knows who I am!"
Cashier: "I'm sorry Sir, but these are the bank rules and I must follow them.”
Keir: "I'm urging you, please cash this cheque for me.”
Cashier: "Look Sir this is what we can do. One day Colin Montgomery came into the bank without any ID. To prove he was Colin Montgomery he pulled out his putter and putted a ball along the floor and into a small cup. With that sort of skill we knew it was Colin Montgomery and we cashed his cheque. On another occasion, Andy Murray came in without any ID. He pulled out his tennis racquet and lobbed a tennis ball straight into my teacup with such a spectacular shot that we all knew it was Andy Murray.”
Kier starts to think and think and finally says, "To be honest, there is nothing that comes into my mind. In fact I can't think of a single thing that I'm any good at."
Cashier: "Will it be large or small notes you require Mr Starmer?”

Mate you better get used to them because there are plenty of them doing the rounds and they will continue. Although he is now getting stick about something to do with Israel, which isn’t fair as I hadn’t seen the news either.
