Interesting. Having they considered trying to implement traditional Labour policies?
To be honest I do agree with the sentiment, but if this is just Lucy Powell saying that because she doesn’t like the publics opinions on the issue of migration I’m a bit concerned.
Thank you!!
The penny finally dropped for one of them! Try offering something unique & helpful instead?!
The fact she even thinks it’s about “winning” and not “serving what people want and need” is the issue. No-one wants labour or their policies. That’s why they are trying to emulate Reform, who actually have popular policies.
She should probably tell the rest of the party that
Truth is Labour are not doing terribly with their pro-business and infrastructure investment approaches. Their PR machine is just not getting the message out. Then again, real policy and governance work is hard, slow, meticulous and often boring. Crazy rightwing grift with one single headline and no substance is unfortunately what lubricates the media machine these days and gets airtime and attention. Playing that game is only a waste of everyone’s time and efforts to make real progress. Sooner we get back to making boring, decent hard work normalised, the better
Remember, this is what she said about grooming gangs. “oh, we want to blow that little trumpet now do we” and “let’s get that dog whistle out shall we”. – fuck off, horrible witch.
But they loveee more benefit spending and higher taxes, right ?
Have you tried actually serving the people you govern. That might work
Not sure the Queen of Benefits is the right way to go for Labour…
You wont win by ignoring working class concerns about changes in the UK demographics either.
Says the woman who previously quit cabinet because it was too left wing, backed a coup against it and failed and now campaigned saying the only way to win back labour support is by being a party of the many, not the few. The exact slogan of the people she tried to get booted out of office.
So thus far an untrustworthy hypocrite, and still somehow the better of the two options on the table.
Time will tell if she’s actually learned anything from her past decisions, but I certainly haven’t seen anything that engenders any hope.
well, yes. but you actually have to do that, not just say it.
i don’t see starmer changing course and becoming a progressive
Lol, already taking a pop at Keithy boy, he must have thought it was Christmas when Raynor left 😅
She won after getting sacked by the PM. LMAO
Goodness Labour a disaster. I never imagined it would be this bad. Like wow
Just bring in common sense policy – no more paying for asylum hotels, letting violent criminals roam free on the streets, restricting construction with red tape, overtaxing the young and productive to prop up pensioners, etc.
sounds good but good luck getting starmer to give up his temu farage cosplay
The premise of their strategy has been that the left is captured and as long as they bring in enough of the right they’ll have a solid footing.
But the left ‘isn’t’ captured, they’ve been so spineless on issues like Gaza that the left isn’t buying what they’re selling, and fair enough
Maybe the *Labour* government should try to implement traditional *Labour* policies considering the electorate voted in a *Labour* government.
How did the culls miss her? That sounded reasonable and that can’t be Labour.
Nobody really wants reform we want our government to do their jobs! Stop harming British citizens,stay away from our children, prioritise British people for housing and schools placements,stop raising the costs of everything bar the working wage etc it’s not hard to win over support for the people of the country you govern.
And you won’t do it by gaslighting the country either like Starmer has attempted to do.
Have they tried even starting to out-Reform Reform yet? Irregular migration has kept rising since they were elected. Making some speeches that sound tough, and swapping a few dozen migrants with France, isn’t going to budge you in the polls.
