But how do these comments bring labour what they need, new voters who will switch allegiance from the tories to labour, when has insults ever worked in doing that, in the last few years we’ve had Trump, we’ve had Brexit, we’ve had the rise of the right wing and we’ve had Boris as our PM, all helped by the negativity pushing more people towards them.
I think this labour government need to look back at 1997 and how they managed to kick out the tories who had ruled for 18 years at that point, it wasn’t insults and in-fighting, it was waiting for mistakes and capitalising, it was feeling the pulse of the nation and working their manifesto around that, weirdly that turned into a kind of one party nation with new labour being left, right and centre dependent on what was good press at the time!
