sienna, sir keir starmer's name was absent, | starmer's name was absent, wasn't it, from kim leadbetterfor a few months but what must he focus on now to try and build the party, to try and win those votes that he so desperately needs, general election? this is the key _ needs, general election? this is the key question. _ needs, general election? try 3 is the key question. as he said, when i went to the constituency i saw that kim led to's leaflets, especially in the tory parts of the constituency, the typically conservative parts which seemed to be really indecisive in her win because she had a personal vote there, was all about voting kim rather than voting labour or key is dumber. sir keir starmer was meant to be an electoral asset for the party but his personal ratings have gone down. i think the leadership of the labour party will want to take this moment as, really, a sign of a loss of momentum. it is literally labour holding a seat it always has and it needs to do that at this stage but they need to build on this and they need to respond, not in the same way as the leadership did

another elected jobs that she had to stand down and the labour candidate this time is called kim leadbetterdidate, someone who is quite popular and they are hoping the labour party that because she has the local name recognition that she would be able to win a number of seats for the party and i think it has happened, the fact that it is close is a sign that perhaps they are not in the worst place in this seat but the fact that the conservatives are, we think, may be marginally ahead, maybe by a few hundred votes, although that is within a margin of error because it's pretty hard to forgive these things out in counting centres at the moment because of covid—19 restrictions, the fact the conservatives are potentially going to take this seat, as i say, is assigned the boris johnson's party seat, as i say, is assigned the borisjohnson�*s party is reaching parts of england that in the past it struggled in —— kim leadbeater. remember it won the hartlepool by—election a few months ago, i think the party had never won. this is slightly different, party that the conservatives in the uk used to hold
