      Four years to the day since Labour whipped MPs to abstain on the welfare bill, a disgraceful decision that showed how foolish triangulation was electorally, and how much harm it caused the poorest: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/jul/21/labour-disarray-welfare-48-mps-defy-whips …

      What *actually* damaged the lives of the poorest people was losing the 2010, 2015 and 2017 general elections I’m afraid.

      And why do you think you lost elections?

      I could write a book. And from the perspective of someone who is utterly committed to a more generous social security system. But we didn’t lose because of an abstention weeks after the 2015 election (and I think that was a serous mistake BTW)

      That’s my point: it was a serious mistake that was indicative of an attempt to triangulate. There are even quotes saying exactly that in the article. You can’t argue abstaining on a vote on welfare cuts doesn’t harm the poor.

          The positions you take and the language used when in opposition matter, of course! But what you do when in government matters much more. Since 2010 the coalition/Conservatives have cut away at what was built up by Labour and recognising that is important too.

          Right, but you enabled that. You voted for the Charter for Budget Responsibility in Jan 2015, the one that committed the next Parliament to £30 billion of cuts.

          triangulation in 2015 bad. Triangulation in 2017 good?

          We lost because of atos, because the likes of rachel reeves proudly claiming "we will be tougher than the Tories on welfare". This happened. And every Labour voter I knew wanted to give up.
