How does Labour win again? That was the poignant question raised yesterday after the election setbacks on Thursday. It was this question that an esteemed panel - Jon Cruddas MP; David Lammy MP; Jennette Arnold AM; Steve Richards, The Independent; John Harris, The Guardian and chaired by Jackie Ashley, The Guardian - came together to discuss in front of a filled Committee Room 14 in Westminster.
The discussion was started by David Lammy MP, who praised Ken as a charismatic politician who achieved a lot for London, but asked whether Labour were now seen as the party of the establishment and as such encumbered. He stated his fear that, 11 years into power, Labour may not be hungry enough to win. He called for a wider vision, a wider story and passion.
