one of Blair's biggest tricks

was to understand that he needed Tory voters to change their minds and vote for him and his party.

Calling everyone who ever voted Tory a c**t isn't the best way of doing that.

Telling anyone that points that out that they are a "Red Tory" isn't going to help with that.

It isn't Corbyn, per se, that puts me off voting Labour, it's many of his most fervant supporters that do that.

In between elections there's a constant stream telling me that I'm not 'pure' enough and that i should just f**k off and become a real Tory. After years of that I'm just supposed to swing behind these same people, or else I'm evil?

It's the tribalism that's killing it for Labour.
