  • A lot of bile is being wasted on questioning why Labour lost. The fact is that the Tories won and we should reflect on what they did to win and then seek to replicate it.

    1. A leader with a brand. Yes we might not like it but it was recognisable and people did.

    2. Eliminate internal opposition and brook no disloyalty.

    3. Simplify the message. Get Brexit Done. No detail in the manifesto. Nothing to challenge.

    4. Attack the other side. Scatter lies all over the shop so that the other side spends all its time answering those lies and not in getting its message out.

    Now the challenge is to see how that can be replicated from a left perspective.

    In the first instance, the next two years must be spent focusing locally and listening. And then we strike.

  • I agree with that but the harm that would be occasioned by adopting 4 should not be taken lightly - by doing the same, they'd lose the moral high ground.

    It must be possible without the lies.
