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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The Labour Party has become consumed by collective bile towards... the Liberal Democrats. That portrays a rather nasty arrogance.
I feel sorry for generations of Labour voters and supporters who must look and wonder what on earth has gone wrong and what Labour is for.
We are all in the Labour party because we want the Labour party to be a vehicle for social change. There is a thirst for debate in the party, and all those who have joined haven't joined without a purpose.
What I've said in the past is that I want the Labour Party to approach this matter on the basis of unity.
We in the Labour party know better than most that opposition is the easy part. What's more difficult is governing and setting out an agenda for government.
British politics is more nuanced. Part of the problem with New Labour is that they are a moving target.
A lot of people didn't feel attracted to Labour, so they voted in desperation for other things.
The U.K. needs a strong opposition, and Labour shows no signs of being capable of being that. The SNP is filling that void and will go on seeking to do that.
I'm in agreement with David Miliband when he says our generation of Labour politicians are not willing to hand over the direction of the country without a serious electoral fight.
What people should understand is that I adore the Labour party.
