Yet even that is not enough. Successive Labour leaders enabled and indulged #Mandelson, despite clear evidence of trouble. #Kinnock first promoted Mandelson. #JohnSmith wisely shunned Mandelson, but #Blair & #GordonBrown both brought #Mandelson into senior government posts, and even made him an #EUcommissioner.

This isn't about #OllyRobɓins, or Mandelson, or even Starmer & McSweeney. It's about 2 generations of thoroughly rotten politics in a major political party.

🔸To win the #election, #KeirStarmer should learn from #Labour's historic 1992 loss🔸

🔹In 1992, #Labour looked all but certain to win the general #election. A shock defeat handed the #Conservatives a record fourth term in office

#Kinnock resigned, and the Labour leader who followed began a project to renew Labour's fortunes focusing on growth through fair treatment of working people - the parallels with today are striking
