After that shocking Lib Dem attack ad from Labour in #LocalElections2022 it appears there's an even worse one attacking the Greens, which was apparently doing the rounds in the West Midlands:
This is going to take a 🧵to unpick ...
This is going to take a 🧵to unpick ...
Firstly we see the familiar attack from the Lib Dem one - that the Greens are soft on crime and on drugs.
It implies Labour doesn't want to reduce the prison population (the highest in Europe) or make any liberalisation of the UK's ineffective drugs laws - which is dumb.

Secondly, in attacking the Greens, it attacks two which are Labour policies as well 🤦
It is Labour policy to abolish right to buy. @WelshLabour has abolished right to buy.
Raising corporation tax to 24%. In 2019 Labour pledged to raise to 26%. Last year Sunak raised it to 25%

The message is the same as the Lib Dem one.
Labour attacking the Greens and the Lib Dems from the right - while offering nothing positive.
This is a recipe for electoral failure, pushing away Labour's electoral base of younger, socially liberal voters

If anyone has any other attack ads (digital or paper versions), my DMs are open ...
It's important Labour members hold the party to account for what they put out in our name, funded (in part) by our membership fees and donations
