DID the Labour Party, which included Sir Keir Starmer, lose touch totally with its core voters from the 2016 referendum through to the 2019 General Election? Is that why they, the Labour party, caused the ‘‘Red Wall’’ here in the North to crumble simply because they ignored us and were then given their worst election result since 1935?

Do not just blame ‘‘fence sitter’’ Jeremy Corbyn. Whatever the answer, they have now a massive mountain to climb in restoring our trust and confidence in the future of the Labour Party.

Remember, if the Tories spend and help rejuvenate industry, housing and the like here in the North, as they’ve promised, then the working class people who voted Tory at the last election will not switch back to Labour.

Also with the totally undemocratic actions of the Labour Party incumbent leader ‘‘Mr Hindsight’’ Sir Keir Starmer, in particular regarding Jeremy Corbyn, Brexit and anti-Semitism, how could we ex-Labour voters ever trust him and them ever again?

I am afraid Sir Keir Starmer has not proven to us that he is the leader required to unify Labour; indeed, all he has done is split the party asunder. In my opinion, Starmer is not fit to lead the once great Labour party.

I don’t recollect any of these guardians of our freedom speaking out when large areas of the North were placed into comparable restrictions, earlier in the year.

Just to rub salt into the wound, it is reported that London was not placed in Tier 3 as the Government was concerned about job loses in the capital. Obviously, southern jobs are more important than those in the North.
