All this chat of Labour ‘reset’ and defeating populism by ‘delivery’
Hope am wrong but pretty certain that’s disastrous strategy
Farage et al offer a story about the world with goodies and baddies.
This can be defeated with a compelling alternative vision of the future, not targets and bromides

Farage et al aren’t inhibited by reality or truth, so Labour are never going to be tell a more compelling story.
The only thing that will defeat them is to resolve the conditions they thrive in. By making people feel better.
More “libraries of things” to rent at reasonable prices to help people do diy and gardening. Community time being respected and acknowledged.
I’ve been saying this.
Besides which, targets such a bad idea!!!!
Leaves room for a bleaker vision offered by the likes of Farage etc
Brexshit reversal
Constitutional reform
Nhs spending NOT PFI
Railway investment and hs2 reinstatement
Local government block grant restoration
PR
All could be moving on
As it is..... they are dire
Reality is this Govt are not offering one thing that says life will get better for people, short or medium term
If they're also not appealing to emotions - they have no chest codes
Those of us on the thin edge of promised benefit reduction, social housing drought, crumbling GP service, Long Covid incompetence, no dentistry…. And more, are terrified.
But hey. Growth looks … er 💩
Serotonin depletion is certainly one of the common impacts of LC. …1/2
I’m about to restart my SSRI to see.
Meanwhile I already rattle. The heart medication to deal with LC induced tachycardia is fun 🤣.

No, they can’t do it in 5 months, but they can create a vision in which I’m thinking that having 10 to 15 years left may be too much.
There will be a lot of angry and sick people around - and unlike me they’ll be listening to a Musk funded Reforn Ltd.

But it gets categorised as “undermining”.
They really aren’t focussed on those things. There’s no indication of it at all.

Maybe Starmer needs visit France with his eyes and ears open?
Because no matter what they do or how many improvements they make the majority of the public won’t know because it’s buried under the Reform sycophancy
It’s beyond my comprehension how many LW/Centre/moderate RW Govts of the past decade have done fuck all to combat targeted radicalisation misinformation and the RW Broligarths from Bannon to Musk
Or how they still seem intent on making the same mistakes
Bannon did enough damage globally, Musk is a whole new level of dangerous narcissist
Yet they clearly learned nothing from Bannon’s Trump V.I and Brexit horror shows of targeted radicalisation white male privilege and Geobbels inspired lie repetition
The UberRight is gunning for Starmer every which way it can.
And starmer has just bet the whole house on completely turning around decades of decline. In one parliament.
I'm not sure if it's arrogance or missguid optimism, though.
There are lots of “good solutions” but they have zero chance of adoption.
Which also happened in the US
The failure of successive Left leaning, moderate or centre right Govts to stand up to toxic RW Broligarths like Bannon and Musk for over a decade could prove catastrophic
Sorry if that's a bit below the waist....
Now, if they brought back Campbell...never forgive him for Iraq but he's fucking good, and he's not trying to make money out of them.
Fireworks.
People need to look at why populists are gaining support. Populism itself is corrosive to democracy and shouldn’t be fuelled.
This bland little coward is all they've got to hang their coats on meanwhile Farage is strutting about like a king in waiting.
Least they won't be able to blame Corbyn this time.
