Pat Glass to stand down at election after 'incredibly divisive' referendum campaign | Pat Glass to stand down at election after 'incredibly divisive' referendum campaign |
Pat Glass, who was appointed shadow education secretary, has announced that she will stand down at the next election. She says that, although she only ever intended to serve two terms, she found the last six months “very, very difficult”. The referendum campaign was “incredibly divisive” and “bruising in many respects”, she says. | Pat Glass, who was appointed shadow education secretary, has announced that she will stand down at the next election.

Glass got into trouble during the campaign for calling a voter “a horrible racist” - although some of us took the view that she was stitched up. | Glass got into trouble during the campaign for calling a voter “a horrible racist” - although some of us took the view that she was stitched up. |

More evidence has emerged about how remain campaigners feel let down by Jeremy Corbyn’s office. Here is an extract from a leaked email sent out to supporters by Stewart Owadally, the director of Wales Stronger In Europe, and Alex Kalinik, its head of press. | More evidence has emerged about how remain campaigners feel let down by Jeremy Corbyn’s office.

We were consistently given short shrift when we requested visits from Labour figures via the Labour party in London. Our political champions from the Labour party were often unable to get hold of research or rebuttal materials from Labour HQ to help make their case. In the end we often coordinated press for Labour figures because the Labour Party was not willing to do so – but these were less powerful because they were not from the official party infrastructure. | We were consistently given short shrift when we requested visits from Labour figures via the Labour party in London.

Most strikingly felt of all was the complete disinterest from Jeremy Corbyn. As leader of our party, he should have thrown the full weight of his resources - as leader, as the leader’s office, and as the steward of the party itself - into the Labour campaign for a remain vote, but this did not happen. | Most strikingly felt of all was the complete disinterest from Jeremy Corbyn.

This was borne out by the results. While polls suggest somewhere in the region of 60% of Labour voters voted remain across the UK, what we saw and heard in the traditional Labour heartlands told its own story. We lost them, badly. And we faced a constant barrage of opposition from people in those areas during the campaign. | This was borne out by the results.
