It is hard ATM to see a left of centre party that would unify even the more casual left. Labours current stance is closer to right for most as the overton window is so far right now compared to the past.
Starmer didn’t even visit the constituency in the run up. However Labour’s biggest issue here is that the previous MP was sacked after he got into a fight while drunk one night and was convicted of assault, which was the whole reason there was a byelection. So it was kind of a coin flip on whether anything they could have tried would have made the situation better, and it easily could have backfired.

Have Labour improved people’s lives after 1 year of power? They need to earn votes, not expect them
