This ignores the whole point though, which is whether that would be welcomed or viewed negatively.
There's a reason they keep banging that "captain hindsight" line, it's because it weaponises Starmer's criticisms of anything in the past.
Russell brand may be able to do it but commanding the support of a relatively small number of people who tune into your YouTube because they already like you is not the same as getting majority support.

It's a massive failing on the part of Labour/Starmer that you have so easily described their position in a way that is easy for anyone to understand and they (many varied and intelligent professionals) have failed to do this on so many occasions.
They're also spending way too much time trying to communicate through the instruments of power (like the BBC, PMQs). Which is flawed because those instruments are easily subverted.
Why is Kier not posting a weekly YouTube video on what the govt did last week, what he supported, what he would have done differently and why? If he did this, and did it well, he could use it as a platform to push the Labour agenda, defend the left-centre ground, call out the Tories for policy-theft and ultimately present a different view of a Labour future. Had he been doing tis since the beginning, he could have quantifiably presented a different version of the present where a Labour government would have locked down earlier, had less deaths, saved more businesses, not fucked a years schooling, etc...
FFS if Russel Brand can do it from his bedroom they should be able to do something impactful.
His tactics are just whack.
