The unless is: Unless we read this article and recognize many of the points that gave BoJo the win and unless we and the Democratic candidate understand what happened last night we will be doomed and tRUMP will get a second term.

Can't stray from the so called Centrist which really means Republican lite.

It's silly to try to create false "lesson's learned" just to drive your own preferred candidates.

We have neither a Jeremy Corbin nor a Brexit driving our politics.

"Despite promises to tax billionaires to fund investment in public services that would have helped those on lower incomes, Labour’s offer failed to convince voters in old coal, steel and manufacturing towns."

let's change a couple of words...

Despite promises to tax billionaires to fund investment in public services that would have helped those on lower incomes, Democrat's offer failed to convince voters in industrial midwest.

Trump wins a second term if we don't heed this lession.
