    This is true, but that cement is weak and the foundation shaky.

    Labour didn’t meaningfully increase its vote share, turnout was the lowest in 20+ years, and and the average seat now is incredibly marginal - down from an average of 12k to 6k. The free ride is over, Labour have no answers, and no real bedrock of support.

    There’s an opportunity to organise, agitate, and exploit that weakness outside of electoral politics. There’s about to be potentially millions of totally disaffected libs over the next few years who’ll be looking to make sense of this shitshow and we shouldn’t leave them to the far right.
