Division have arisen again in the Labour party after the by-election defeat in Copeland. It was a devastating result for the Labour Party.
This turned the focus on Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership and the cry rose again for his resignation.
In fact the issue in Copeland was more to do with Brexit than anything else. The key fault line in labour Party is the in-fighting within its own ranks.
What both sides say is exaggerated or biased and does not solve the problem rather it acerbates it.
Now is the time for the Labour Party to roll up its sleeves, close ranks and move forward.
It should concentrate on working on policies on NHS, education, environment, economy, housing, energy, transport, trade unions, foreign affairs and defence rather than indulging in petty politics which has been going on for quite a while.
This is counter-productive and regressive step. It is time to rebuild and re-connect with the voters and not finding scapegoats.
