The gulf between the parliamentary party and the Labour voters is the widest I've ever known.

And yet they don’t see it. I really hope there’s still enough time and sufficient by-elections and local council elections for them to wake up and smell the coffee. I suspect they won’t.
My worry is if Reform gain more traction at those elections (as polls seem to suggest), Labour will come away with the message that they need to double down. How can they call themselves Labour and act like this?
It’s an absolute headbanger. “People like Reform but people don’t like us when we do what Reform do, so we should do *more* of that”.
