The Labour party is not in a good place. On almost every issue there are strong voices within the party calling for a decisive policy/strategy move. Problem is, these voices are calling for moves in diametrically opposite directions. 1/5
If it is to recover, it needs to discover a sense of purpose and narrative. That is a huge task (and I'm not going to go there now).
But. 2/5
But. 2/5
There are (to be simplistic) two reasons why Labour is losing. One is that the Labour offer doesn't appeal. The other - much more significant factor - is that the Johnson offer does appeal. 3/5
The arguments against Johnson - the lies, the corruption, the words not matched by deeds, the constitutional vandalism, the illegalities - do not seem to be cutting through. 4/5
Even if Labour can't discover its purpose, can it not, in coordination with other parties, do a better job of giving people reasons *not* to vote for Johnson? 5/5
