If you have one successful playbook in living memory for runaway electoral success, you might as well use it
Labour’s long march back to power is picking up pace. A thumping speech in Thurrock was intended to introduce a checklist of intentions to voters who might be bemused about what the Opposition will actually do if they win., to indicating what we might expect if he ends the year hanging his boardroom-ready white shirt collection in the Downing Street cupboard, In theory, at least.
A number of psephologists looking at the May election results are concluding that far from Brexit “digging in” Tory support, the trend may be for a stronger swing in places which voted with gusto for Leave in 2016, especially the Midlands and some parts of the North-East. Starmer’s card, though, has one more commitment than Blair’s had – even if six is probably one too many for anyone to remember.
Anything else is largely about inputs, like “setting up Great British Energy”, a state-backed energy entity. But if the Opposition’s critique of the Sunak plan is that it is not impactful enough to be a deterrent, it is hard to see that a body like Border Security Command will have much short-term success deterring hardened people-smugglers either.
