Owen Jones suggests that in order to win the next election Labour has to appeal to pensioners (Why isn’t Labour surging?, 30 November). The vast majority of Labour voters do not want Brexit, yet Labour appears to take them for granted. On 41% of the vote it is difficult to see where a Labour surge will come from. Why would anyone in the neglected areas of the English regions have surged towards the Labour party? Can we ask Morgan Stanley to write the Labour party manifesto please?
