Strangely, I think he should do the complete opposite.

Not for around 3 years. Do the day job properly and it won't happen.
Concentrate on being popular, he will lose, and it will happen.

Tend to agree. And he needs to stop being Farage-lite and consider the type of people who lent him their vote in 2024, and stop pissing them off.

This is a pipe dream

There's no amount of earnest hard work going to turn this one around.

Events have given him an opportunity to exploit the Right's embrace of Trump. He'll be foolish not to take it

He needs a couple of Ministers to go into the TV studios and throw some elbows.

That supports rather than contradicts my post

Not necessarily, as I think that under McSweeney's game plan, they've been too focused on the next election and micro-polling (and the imaginary Labour voters who have switched to supporting Farage), and all the Mahmood anti-immigrant stuff is electioneering, when they should have been getting on with good governance and doing Laboury things.

Remember how unpopular Thatcher was in 1980. She didn't spend four years electioneering, but rather pushing ahead with what she wanted to do in line with her principles. She certainly wasn't trying to win over Labour voters or union members, but rather having confidence that enough people would vote again for what she was doing (and with little compromise).

Sorry, didn't twig all this Starmer talk was in the Trump thread. Most do better.

I assumed it would be understood that the comment was focused on Starmer's approach to Trump

Quite glad I haven't formed an opinion on the Chagos deal. It's off, apparently.
