Jeremy Corbyn's former director of communications, James Schneider, also highlights a lack of trust between the key players in the campaign. "Over the course of 2019, and the disagreements on Brexit, the levels of trust within the operation had reduced very much and there was some operational scratchiness."He said Labour's campaign slogan"it's time for real change" never"took off", adding"we never filled it in with content or with other meaning", giving the impression that the party was"throwing things at the wall".
