Labour needs to do so much more. It needs to argue against the whole premise of populism. It's not enough to argue against Farage while supporting Farage's Brexit and making Farage style cuts. We need a PM who talks to people like they're adults. More Carney-straight-talking. Less Tory/Reform-lite. - ThreadSky

I couldn't agree more. Just listen to Ed Davey and you get a clear idea of what a PM should sound like.

I am at a total loss as to why the labour gov is maintaining red lines that sustain trade barriers with you EU, while claiming growth is at the heart of their agenda. It must only be fear of Reform in traditional labour heartlands. Weak weak leadership.

Couldn’t agree more, the ‘legitimate concerns’ approach to try & pull back people being tantalised by the simple slogans of populism is causing great damage. It has more or less destroyed the Tories already, if people lean that way they will vote for the full fat version. Create alternative vision

Couldn’t agree more. Farage needs taking on, head on. He simply can’t cope with scrutiny so needs to tell us why WE should vote to lose OUR rights. And Labour needs to get after him on every level and that includes Europe. Which means they need to pivot on their own position, citing a changed world.

All they have to do is invite him on their shows and push him with relevent questions and not let him get change the subject. Present him with facts past quotes / prophecies that have failed to come true and keep at him.

They need to lead although all they seem to do is follow the right wing agenda of the MSM

Not so much Red Lines as Bullshit Barriers to getting a much needed instant economic shot in the arm by joining the Single Market at least. The country is crying out for “something”. Let’s drop the pretence of being principled, it never stopped the Tories from ditching promises made!

the right-wing dog turd HACK media in the UK isn't reporting any of the good things they have done since they came in.

Yeh we have a PM who talks to us like adults. You just need to listen.

If that were true, he'd be explaining how Brexit is destroying the UK instead of cutting benefits for the most vulnerable in society.
