"What we are doing isn't working, and it needs to change. This may be our last chance."
"In London, we lost young people who fear they will never afford a home. In my patch and across the north, we lost working people whose wages are too low and costs too high. In Scotland and Wales, people do not currently see Labour as the answer. We are in danger of becoming a party of the well-off, not working people."
"Policy tweaks will not fix the fundamental challenges facing our country. This Government needs, at pace, to put measures in place that make people's lives tangibly better, while fixing the foundations of a system rigged against them."
"She added that it had been a mistake to block Andy Burnham's possible return to Westminster, saying Labour needs to bring its "best players into Parliament"."
Labour faces major electoral losses across England, Wales, and Scotland, with Reform UK taking councils in northern England and the Green Party winning support in urban strongholds, including some London authorities. In Wales, Labour has been reduced to a small rump in a former heartland. In London, young people are leaving due to fears about housing affordability, while in the north working people are being lost because wages are too low and costs too high. Labour risks becoming a party of the well-off rather than working people. The Prime Minister is urged to meet the moment by setting out rapid, concrete measures that improve lives and fix a system seen as rigged against people.
