Labour are fighting a rear-guard action in Bristol
Since the end of World War 2, Bristol South has been a Labour party stronghold, all that may change at the next election.
Like most Labour seats they are holding onto what was won after the general strike in 1929.
This week, Kier Starmer came to Bristol; when he visited a pub, the landlord told him in impolite terms to F### O##.
The MP for this area (Bristol South), Karin Smyth could be known as the lady who lost the safest seat in the UK at the next election, her lead was cut from 0ver 30% to less than 20% at the last election.
The latest news (as of two hours ago) is that Labour are all but dead after losing more than 200 seats, mostly to the Conservative Party in the recent elections.
It does ask the question, how many will now decide to remain with a part that not only has no support, but goes against its principles of acting for the working class people in the UK?
The truth is since the general strike of 1929 the party has been hanging on to the majority of their seats because of the swing that put them in power, almost 100 years ago.
