ANALYSIS: Boris "Teflon-toryn" Johnson has done it again

As great as the success is for Boris Johnson, as great is the humiliation for Labor leader Keir Starmer.

This was his chance to turn the ship and prove that Labor still

win elections.

That the election losses disappeared together with the former party leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Instead, Hartepool sends a Conservative MP to the House of Commons in London for the first time in constituency history.

And this despite the fact that the opposition, that is to say Labor, almost always wins by-elections in Britain.

Rumor of a crisis meeting

The Tory party's victory in Hartepool is a continuation of the conservative wave that swept across England.

In the 2019 election, it led to the Tories winning several seats in what is known as the "Labor Red Wall", traditional working class strongholds in northern England where many voted in favor of Brexit.

Had it not been for Nigel Farage and his Brexit party, Hartlepool would have turned blue as early as 2019. Now that the Brexit party has gone to the grave, those votes instead seem to have gone to the Conservative party.

Labor leader Keir Starmer has said that he personally takes responsibility for a possible election loss in Hartlepool.

But he has also said that his aim is to win the next parliamentary election, so there is no indication that Sir Keir intends to resign.

There are rumors of future changes in Labor's shadow government.

It is rumored that the left phalanx of the party will hold a crisis meeting and demand a new direction for Labor, it is unclear where this could lead.

Is in a no man's land

Whatever happens, Keir Starmer has major concerns.

He is accused of being vague, uncharismatic and unknown among voters.

The most serious criticism is that the core voters do not feel that Keir Starmer represents their views.

That he does not speak the same language as them.

That he lives in a bubble in London where you do not know (do not care) what is happening in the rest of the country.

It has been said that Labor under Keir Starmer's command is in a no man's land.

Without direction, without visions.

His supporters claim that today's Labor is a completely different party than the one that lost the 2019 election. They believe that it will take time to come back after Jeremy Corbyn's catastrophic election, and that voters must be patient.

But after Hartlepool, there is a feeling that time does not really exist, that it is actually in a hurry.

Because if Keir Starmer is to be able to stop the voter flight, he must act now.
