How can the Greens, with their blinkered obsession with gender ideology and contempt for the notion of women’s single-sex spaces nevertheless attract and retain the support of a Muslim community known to be socially conservative?
Did Labour even try to exploit such contradictions? Or were they too craven to even try?
The most damning verdict on Gorton and Denton is not that Labour became the victim of tactical voting or of attacks from both Right and Left flanks. It is that it not only lost one of its safest seats but deserved to. And trying to pin the blame on any of Keir Starmer’s junior colleagues in Government simply won’t wash.
