MPs Ed Miliband and Lucy Powell were key figures behind the new report in the Labour election defeat in December 2019.

And you could say, you know a lot about the loss of elections.

Mr Miliband was the leader when The Party suffered a worse-than-expected earnings in 2015, and Ms Powell - His former chief of Staff - Played an important role in this campaign.

When you announced the review days after the election, felt some in The Party your track record you will be disqualified from sitting in judgment on the errors of a subsequent guide.

But in some ways, they were more likely to be well qualified for The Task , with the MPs back on The Front Bank under the direction of Sir Keir Starmer 's Leadership , and with a direct responsibility to act on their own recommendations.

as well as Mr Miliband and Ms Powell , another 13 "commissioners" were involved in the drafting of The Report , drawn from trade unions, local authorities and from various parts of the country.

The Commission had access to private polling, it surveyed 11,000 members, conducted some interviews, and convened, to explore a "citizens" panel, the extent of The Problem .

Some of the research was commissioned by The Campaign Company - Set Up of the work of the recently appointed General Secretary , David Evans , and the corporate Alma Mater of Sir Keir's chief of Staff , Morgan McSweeney. To act so that you well be able to access the results of The Report .

What makes The Report particularly interesting - the honourable members know from bitter Experience - it argues strongly that Labour in the elections not begin and end with His former leader, Jeremy Corbyn .

It's not on the scale of The Last election was the defeat suggests somehow historically inevitable.

Instead, it stated that "a combination of views of our party to exit the guide, a British EU and a Manifesto, which was not seen as a credible seal our defeat in the year 2019".

" No surprise.

But The Report then twisted The Knife a little, adds: "In The Words of our candidates and activists, the strategy was insufficient, the organization is muddled and The Execution was bad. "

the verification of The conclusions, then, are some aspects of The Campaign under The Telescope .

Labour digital has been credited by contributing something for the younger voters in 2017 to 2019, The Party was outgunned financially and creatively by the Conservatives.

"Our digital infrastructure was inadequate and inappropriate," The Report says.

It may also surprise you experienced political commentators that the Tories were not successful to motivate, as a Labour in the year 2019, current-voters go to the ballot box.

The Report paints a portrait of a party, the lives, the wars of "believe," "internal strife" and "division".

But there is a drastic warning to those who believe, a change in The Party Leadership and the political landscape will necessarily bring the work much closer to the power.

"It would be a mistake To Believe that another Director, with a British EU exit is the defining theme, it would be enough to change Labour's electoral fortunes," it says.

And this is, perhaps, the True Value of The Report for the new Leadership .

It serves as a reality-to argue checklist for activists and an opportunity for the new regime, a break with The Past is necessary.

And The Report says the Labour "to Climb A Mountain " - the authors clearly K2 thinking rather than a Scottish munro.

developed to a large extent, before the coronavirus crisis found its peak in the authors very little buyer's remorse of those who had defected from Labour to the Conservatives in December.

And it is argued that The Party the wrong lessons from the 2017 result moved.

"We treated it as a Victory , the Tories treated it like a defeat," Ms Powell says.

In fact, in Many "traditional" labour seats, the Conservatives eroded their rivals majorities in 2017, and The Table for gobbling up two years later.

And This Was simply an acceleration of a process that began in 2005 - possibly, in some areas, even in the midst of Labour's 2001 Victory .

by 2019, labour was a party of the younger city-dwelling graduates and ethnic minority voters.

to drive Elderly residents to the cities - skilled workers in particular - more, or Run Away even.

As The Report puts it: "age, education and location, are the new options shares even More Than the traditional notion of class. "

The Coalition of voters that left The Party a landslide Victory in 1997 was broken - the work would need a similar swing now the Conservatives from power in The Next election.

And The Report suggests that now, instead of suggesting, "things can only get better", you could still get worse.

He said: "labour costs must not be complacent, the seats we currently hold, and we need to be aware of the fact that without fundamental change, it could continue to fall. "

There are 58 places in the whole country that way, require only a small swing from labour to lose the Conservatives.

in view of the long-term developments, which is especially strong in some places, there is no evidence that these trends are abating.

So, what to do?

Now, The Report seems to be somewhat stronger in the diagnosis of the underlying problems is the deployment of The Solutions .

There are 43 recommendations. Some are obvious, such as the better use of volunteers, the skills, and the better support in target seats.

This would perhaps get in The Party , at least on the fringes of the political mountain.

here are Some proposals, organizational, and practical - are to be transmitted as a message, But rather, what should be the message.

Some of the focus on improvements to the digital strategy, and some are trying the change The Way activists behave in the door - to-door to convince people to identify, rather than to mobilize, and a decreasing number of supporters.

But some of the recommendations will be difficult, as the use of independent organisations to ensure Labour's manifesto is credible and available.

The Manifest is clearly the result of political decisions and arguments.

And it is not at All Clear to The Group that the characters from the document, the paragraph slide currently five committees of trade unionists and trade unionists, national executive members and shadow Ministers would be on The Judgment of external experts.

Although on The Surface it sounds reasonable, this would be a massive change in the corporate culture in The Party .

in the face of Labour's losing streak, and the internal criticism of the "everything But the Kitchen Sink " nature of the Manifesto in 2019, perhaps The Party that the actors are willing to change.

We will see.

elsewhere, there are no clear solutions to some of The Party 's difficulties.

In The Past , more radical measures have been taken to deal with religious wars.

For example, in the 1980s, Neil Kinnock , The Party 's soft left - Expelled the Trotskyist extreme left-wing Militant group.

While The Report is the issue of "patronage", it was a time-honored tradition for some unions to try to ensure that your candidates are selected in "safe" places.

And a party of guides from The Right and the left have a parachute, your favorites in the constituencies shortly before a General election.

So, while The Report says that labour HQ needs "should be a qualified, professional, diverse and dedicated workforce" and Staff appointments ", is based on the ability to do The Job ", maybe you need to similar criteria apply to the Selection - and more generally in the labour movement.

Some of the changes required, it is less tangible, as the very specific recommendations.

In some ways, the elections will win, is less about individual policies or politicians - to deliver Many of which are, or are not unpopular - and more about whether The Party can be trusted as a whole, and their leader,,.

Above all, the biggest challenge will be to convince some of Labour's lost voters, that "it speaks for people Like Me ", while they are yet speaking, the the newer, younger Fans.
