I think you did the right thing. I have been a party activist for 40 years, some of it in Newcastle in the 1980s/90s. The North East took a battering from the Tories then and the only way we were going to change things was to gain power in Westminster. The Party in the 1980s took some time to fight back, but they eventually did. We need a broad appeal, re-engage with our traditional areas and reach out to those who no longer want to vote Tory again, but would consider voting Labour if we had the right leader. Like many activists in the Party, we gave Jeremy a chance – we wanted him to succeed on our behalf, but sadly he has not been able to live up to the task given the new and very difficult circumstances our Country finds itself in.
