‘Follow Blair and Scottish wipeout will be repeated’
Leeds MP spells out dangers of a return to New Labour for other ‘heartlands’
LABOUR’S wipeout in Scotland could be repeated in other heartlands if the party lurches back to Blairism, Leeds East MP Richard Burgon warns today.
Writing in the Star four days after his election, Mr Burgon appeals for members to ignore the “siren voices that have led Labour on to the rocks in Scotland.”
“Make no mistake, the loss of 40 of Labour’s 41 MPs in Scotland was a long-term ‘achievement’ of New Labour,” he argues.
