And? It’s a negotiation!
As in you don’t go into the room having given absolutely everything away to the party you are negotiating with.

Possibly because the youth mobility scheme on offer is not the same as it was then.

And some right-winger commenting on TV tonight that this was a back door, or slippery slope to the "Freedom of movement" the right has wickedly conflated with mass immigration. Positive changes can so easily be smeared by corrupt agendas.

Good

I wonder why? Maybe it’s because the media are no better than a pack of rabid attack dogs ready to tear apart anything Labour say about anything like a fresh pair of sneakers

Bad press is all the fault of Labour comms though. Isn’t it?

Absolutely not. Just as all the good press for the Tories was not down to their exceptional comms (they were terrible).

Received wisdom though… if only Labour improved their comms the message would shine through 🙄

I think it's pointless to rely on traditional media to get their message out and they should refocus on their social media platforms, which they have neglected.
