You can't win with just English city-dwelling lefties, that seems painfully obvious now. So they need the North of England and (support from) Scotland back if they're ever going to get into government. And Starmer needs some policies to talk about.
I think if I was in charge of Labour my grand vision would be full blown federalisation ideally with some guarantee of SNP support in government. Then you say "the Tories cannot stop the splitting up of the UK, only we are the true patriots who can hold it together" and call them traitors for allowing independence support to ever get as high as 50% without doing something about it. You give power back to the North and the other regions and turn the Brexit rhetoric about the political elite who think they have a divine right to rule back into the faces of the corrupt Eton posh cunt party which should be pretty easy. And say Brexit was great because it allows us to make this big sweeping change to our democracy even though it's utter bollocks.
Throw in PR and make a pact with the LDs for good measure, just to ensure the Tories are truly shafted.
Too much like admitting defeat for the PLP I imagine?
