Look at those numbers!

Labour have super-alienated Reform and Tory voters.

But they've also managed to alienate Green, LibDem and Labour voters.

That takes a very particular kind of talent.

Morgan must feel very proud

Harder and Faster! 😅 Got to hope that the lunacy of the "chase Reform" srategy will be obvious even in No 10.

Strange survey
1. these are voters that did nor vote labour last time out

2. Does that mean that the rest of them might vote labour at the next election?

Oh dear, here we are then

Ha, interesting how the timings match up. March and June 2023. Around the time when hope of a pre-election Labour pivot really started to evaporate, and the grimness of the increasingly inevitable alternative really hove into view

And the gaslighting by Labour supporters claiming it was all electoral 4D chess really stepped up.

Yes. That tweet came from one of those convos. They're still out there, but much fewer these days I notice

The most troubling sign is Labour alienating the people who normally support them. This alienation is caused by Labour behaving like a Tory party instead of a Labour party.

Reform and Tory voters deserve to be shunned. Ruinous idiots the lot of them.

On Labour's current course, there's no coming back from this. It's one-and-done come 2029.

They are going to have to perform a huge pivot, and do it fast enough so that the change sinks in with an electorate utterly disaffected with politics, and untrusting of all the major parties.

Far too gloomy. 3years+ before the next election. At this stage, nobody has the slightest idea as to the context in which it will be held.

Fat chance of that with current state of the news media. Especially print and social.

edwinhayward.com•14 days ago

Then they're toast.

Just noticed you have a book so i’ll check it out. Should i expect motivation or prepare for massive disappointment regards turning the tide of the prominence of people providing pipe dreams?

edwinhayward.com•14 days ago

It's up to date as of October 2019, so events have by their very nature overtaken it.

The underlying facts are solid, but the various bits about potentially stopping Brexit are now sadly irrelevant.

brooskee.bsky.social•14 days ago

Well, at least you tried.

philsbodydouble.bsky.social•14 days ago

In the meantime, this is the wisdom of Labour MP Luke Akehurst.

Onwards to victory!
