They'll just say "soft on immigration" and "great replacement theory" and stuff like that. It doesn't need to be true or relevant, just needs to push the right buttons.

The only difference being that I think anyone that is triggered today by those sorts of words is already part of the camp still voting Tory or Reform. Which is, ultimately, why the Tories shouldn't stand a chance at this next election.

Ministers knew about carer’s allowance problems three years ago, report reveals.

Suppressed DWP study told of hardship endured by carers forced to repay thousands after minor allowance breaches.

Bastards!

I do think that *some* of the vautionof a Starmer led labour party is Starmer.

But I also think there is significant scarring from 2019, where after the surprise of 2017 they learned the wrong lessons (it was about brexit and how bad TM was as PM) and tried to promise the world to everyone, which kust looked naive, even if some of the (particularly McDonnell areas) policies were very sensible.

But what happened was that it opened them to multiple attack lines from multiple angles and it resulted in the kicking.

Many of the current front labour bench have that scarring. Bear in mind that not that many of the current intake were in govt in the Brown era and even then only a few were around for the 97 and 01 landslides.

That's what's leading to the ultra - cautious approach.

I tend to agree, you dune come off a hiding like 2019 without trying to cover all angles.

Although, 2019 Johnson had the ground swell of Brexit voters thinking he was a hero.

Turned out well didn't it.

Got something to say?
