Copeland Poll: What is 'wrong' with Labour Party?

                                   
The Tories swept aside Labour, which had held the Cumbria seat for 80 years, to record the first by-election gain by a sitting government in 35 years.
Theresa May has said the Conservatives' "astounding" victory in the Copeland by-election shows her government "is working for everyone".
Mrs May said the success showed her party's broad appeal across England.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has insisted he will stay on after it won a separate by-election in Stoke Central.
But one Labour MP has urged him to consider his position following the Copeland loss.
On a visit to the constituency, Mrs May said newly elected MP Trudy Harrison had upset the odds in a seat held by Labour since the 1930s.

Mr Corbyn said Labour's "message was not enough to win through in Copeland" but hailed victory in Stoke as a "decisive rejection of UKIP's politics of division and dishonesty".
He added: "Labour will go further to reconnect with voters and break with the failed political consensus."
