The Labour Party are unelectable. Can they turn it around? What would they need to do to gain your trust?

[flashbac]

After another week of corrupt shenanigans from the Tories (last week was allowing literal shit pumping into watercourses, this week attempting to set aside a finding of dodgy dealings) we would still be stuck with them if there was a snap election tomorrow.

The Labour brand has become far too toxic. Keir is next to useless and all of them listen to the wrong people instead of instinctively knowing what to fight for. If they can turn it around and rebuild trust it won't be a quick or easy job. They have lost all credibility.

What do they need to do to rebuild trust or is it too late?

For me they need to start with the following:

• Get a leader with charisma and strong values surrounding fairness. The current one just doesn't cut it.
• know wtf a woman is. Stop trying to erase natal women as a sex class.

What's on your wishlist for a credible alternative to the Tories?

In short the answer is;

Yvette Cooper

A longer answer is that the real problem lies with the voters not the Conservative Government.

We currently have a serial liar PM who is out of his depth, a yes man Chancellor, Conservative MPs that don't have a lot to do other than follow the party whip so instead seek ways to make themselves wealthy (ie sleaze) plus let's not forget an 80 seat majority making them feel lazy, entitled and untouchable.

Under normal circumstances voters would be enraged and Labour way ahead in the polls. Instead the average voter tars all politicians with the same brush (Con andLab) - they're all corrupt, they're all liars, they're all useless.

Add into the mix that Starmer could not be seen to be scoring political points off Boris in the midst of a pandemic- after all "we need to pull together in a time of crisis". Also some voters insanely support Boris because he's "funny" or "eccentric " personally I prefer the simpler description of "twat" but there we are.

Labour need to be much more aggressive namely:
On Covid: a large part of why the NHS is struggling is due to under funding- so let's give them more money
On standards: when many are struggling sleaze is not acceptable (actually it never acceptable but especially now)
A post Covid world: more funding on education to allow young people to catch up.
On Europe join the European Free Trade Area
On economy: Target taxation of wealth not just income it's harder to avoid. If you do need to make spending cuts then means test or even simpler tax pension benefits such as winter fuel pay, tv license, free bus pass, state pensions etc.

Labour needs to stand up for women’s single-sex DV shelters, prisons, changing rooms & hospital wards, say no to self-ID & disassociate itself from the misogynist and homophobic Stonewall.
