Here's what Labour councillors think about the leadership, campaign strategy and the manifesto. Interestingly, a majority think Labour got battered because voters hated the leadership and policies & Brexit was a relatively small part of the outcome. Yet all the candidates are saying that the policies were great but perhaps there were too many of them.

Each and every one is saying the same nonsense about their policies being sound, instead of admitting that
they were simply tired, defunct socialist fairy tales that people saw right through. If they were sound, they would
be in power, instead, they are nodding to the members with each and every announcement, I understand why, it's them
that do the electing bit.
The big problem though, is that the membership, no matter how they trumpet how large it is, has no effect on their chances
of election to power, the Tories only have a relatively small membership, I don't think it's even a quarter of Labour's,
but they are the ones massively outnumbering the opposition in the commons.
