The problem we have is not Labour, in however it is configured.
From Francis Maude
So our problem is not Labour, it is us, is making us attractive enough to gain disillusioned Labour support and to compete effectively with the Lib Dems for those loose votes.
We need to show that we know and understand and can reflect today's Britain. Today we don't.
Our share of the vote overall rose by less than 1 per cent - yes, that's right: less than 1 per cent.
We should be the natural home for the millions of Britons of immigrant origin. But we're not. Because too often we've sounded like people who wish they hadn't come here at all.
Our party believes in diversity, not uniformity.
Our party's committed to tackling failing schools and cutting crime.
We should be the natural home for younger voters. But today we're not. Because too often we sound like people who just don't like contemporary Britain.
We should be the natural home for young mothers. But we're not. Because too often we sound like people who think the only good mother is a married mother.
If we want to change what people think of us, then we have got to change.
