I would like to think they’ll draw the right conclusions from this. I don’t.

I hope the polling showing "even if Starmer pretends to be Farage, Reform voters hate him and don't trust him" is etched in letters of fire inside Number Ten.

I thought they'd get it after the Runcorn and Helsby by-election. Enough of us usual Labour voters either didn't vote or voted Green; certainly enough to have tipped the balance. If anything, it made them worse.

Because that would require intelligence and self-awareness, and they possess neither.

Labour’s delusion, across leaders, is that there’s a large chunk of the population which inherently belongs to them, and if they remove any temporary barriers it will swing back to them naturally.

They don’t seem to be interested in the opinions of the people that actually vote for them, only the ones that don’t

It’s actually baffling. They’ve gotten zero good press, public approval, or positive results for anything they’ve done Has there been any sort of internal justification for any of this? I would kill for a candid interview with an internal advisor on what the hell their thinking is behind the scenes
