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.

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.
