To buck the trend of incumbents booted out by populists, we have to do three things:
Suffocate their conspiracism with honesty.
Overcome their cynicism with hope, by delivering real change.
And take on their arguments to win the battle of ideas.

Court the right by further advancing anti-immigrant/“anti-woke” agendas.

Abolishing big money and adopting State funding in Politics not mentioned.
#Labour are deeply unserious about this.
Typical from Streeting
Are Labour even aware how god awful their communications strategy is? That’s where they beat the populist right, with deliverables explained with positivity and hope, shown on every media platform under the sun. Not with carrier pigeons every 4th Thursday!
Labour need to look at press reform. This is probably their last chance. Apathy is not an option.
Populists can promise the earth and never have to deliver.
Some “hope”.
The rise of Spoons and the demise of greasy spoon caffs serving cheap-cheap breakfasts and buckets of strong builder’s tea … that’s correlated, right?
Trans existence was a major wedge issue in the US. Streeting threw trans kids on the popularist bonfire.
And that change has to be more than just inching back from the ground already lost.
Good jobs, good services, good media & more.
Better together

Well? Go on, say it....
We could be here for a while.
