Theresa May’s Katrina: Grenfell Tower and the election outcome that wasn't supposed to happen
By Sheila Cohen and Kim Moody
June 23, 2017 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal reposted from Solidarity (US) — We live in a north London street which, despite its impressive 19th
century architecture, is peopled mainly by “council tenants” (public
housing residents). This is largely due to the left-of-center politics
of the local council (government), which bought up large areas of such
housing in the 1970s, limiting “development” and gentrification, and
preserving much of the working class population. Perhaps as a result
Labour MP Emily Thornberry, a strong supporter of Jeremy Corbyn, was
re-elected with an increased majority of over 20,000 votes--63% against
the Conservative’s 21%. Nationally, Labour won 30 new seats and
increased its vote by 3.5 million and the Conservatives lost their
majority.
