Momentum, the left-wing Labour Party group which heavily supported Jeremy Corbyn, has made a jibe at Sir Keir's inability to hold onto the Hartlepool seat. The Tweet, posted just


minutes after the by-election result was announced, threw shade at Sir Keir's leadership and pointed out even his predecessor won the seat in 2017 election. They wrote: "This


result is a disaster. "In 2017, we won over 50 percent of the vote in Hartlepool. "Now it looks like we’ve lost it to the Tories. "A transformative socialist message has won


in Hartlepool before, and it would have won again." Momentum co-chair Andrew Scattergood also commented on the result, and said he fears Labour will be frozen out of politics for many


years to come. He said: "A transformative socialist message has won in Hartlepool before, and it would have won again. "Starmer's strategy of isolating the left and replacing


meaningful policy with empty buzzwords has comprehensively failed. "If he doesn't change direction, not only will he be out of a job - but the Labour Party may be out of government


forever." The result of the Leave-supporting North East constituency was announced shortly after 7am this morning. Momentum weren't the only ones to criticise Sir Keir's


current strategy. Former shadow home secretary Diane Abbott tweeted: "Not possible to blame Jeremy Corbyn for this result. Labour won the seat twice under his leadership. "Keir


Starmer must think again about his strategy." Shadow cabinet minister Thangam Debbonaire admitted the party's new messaging was "not cutting through". The importance of


the Hartlepool seat was highlighted in the lead up to yesterday's vote, with both Mr Johnson and Sir Keir visiting the constituency three times during the campaign. A Labour source


said: "We've said all along the North East and the Midlands would be difficult. "But the message from voters is clear and we have heard it - Labour has not yet changed nearly


enough for voters to place their trust in us. "We understand that. We are listening. And we will now redouble our efforts. "People don't want to hear excuses. Keir has said he


will take responsibility for these results - and he will take responsibility for fixing it and changing the Labour Party for the better."
