Its hard to win against someone who actually goes outside and talks to his constituency. Not a single one of my local MPs did shit all campaigning they don't care.
Someone make him god emperor already
It is a lot harder to convince people who have seen and interacted with him in real life of the demonisation that the British press has ran on him since he became Labour leader. He is one of the few MPs that legitimately seems to care about his constituents rather than just seeing them as a means to an end.
Mandelson seething was great to hear. Labour wasted a lot of resources trying to unseat Corbyn. Not that it is a big comfort with 5 more years of Tory rule followed up by an inevitable far right landslide when reform and the conservatives consolidate again. Only reason that Labour won is because the Tories were finally allowed to collapse when the alternative was a continuation of their policies, vote share for Labour was about the same as the 2019 election.
