Starmer and Badenoch will never out-farage Farage. Surely they've learned this by now.
Because Farage is the only one telling a story.
Might not be to your taste, as a liberal Blue Sky-er, but it's a story.

But that's what it is, and it's even more incredible that Laboursticks to no story
Populism is also escapism, freedom from responsibility.
Populism doesn’t care about that. And we need to call it out for not doing so.
There has to be a progressive narrative too, but you can't build credibility overnight.
Years of cravenness and timidity take their toll. A plague on all their houses. ENDS
On no, not 'Free', I'm sorry, I meant to say 'We have to have
There is a basic dishonesty in making us persist with this destructive idiocy, every time they refuse to mention how much it is costing us.
Who, I'm assured, knew exactly what they voted for - despite all obvious implicit evidence to the contrary, as well as the more explict, oft repeated, "this isn't the Brexit _I_ voted for!".
The dishonesty is as bad as the language. It’s wrong & deeply divisive.
Excellently put summation.
But why won't they even _try_ to tell an alternative story? Has Brexit copper fastened the immigration faultli e for several generations?
Or is all too difficult, banging on about immigration is the easier path.
Starmer is Farage’s biggest asset because the empty vessel is making the most noise.
Almost none of these are on the UK government's list of preferred universities for visas.
BioNTech's founders were at Mainz...

Implemented Mirrlees (merge NI and Income tax)
Implemented proper local government reform with fiscal powers in a system similar to Germany (council tax reform)
Both these help growth and raise tax revenue
Lords reduced to 150
Set up state to withstand lies from right wing and print media and start to foster collaboration, PR for at least local government and Mayor elections
Massive devolution to England and especially Wales
The problem stopping Labour going for it is the lack of interest, ironically.
My mum, like many others, is enjoying a long healthy retirement. And that’s great.
But couple that with a fertility rate that is too low (1.5 instead of 2.1) and a big national debt and it hurts.
We need more people to balance the economy so we can retire well!
But apart from that, do bring evidence to explain how life expectancy has grown almost continuously (covid and Johnson aside) whilst successive governments have allegedly culled people.
Has it? Let's see your evidence.
Here you are.
Once you’ve done that I will ask ONS for their numbers.
But over to you and the culling undertaken, apparently, by successive governments.
But, from 2010 the picture started to change in the U.K.
Partisan clickbait media (Mail, Times, Telegraph, GB News) - BBC dissolving.
Debt overhang from 2008, Brexit, Covid - no money available.
Public retreating into their chosen feel-good echo chambers - uninterested in dealing with reality.

Thanks.
Labour is so disappointing for so many reasons.
You've just spelt most of them out, very clearly.
So he's left himself with nothing.
