Yup, all seems so very simple. It would have been like Vote leave and every single leave campaigner all saying the same thing, "we're going to have a hard brexit", it wouldn't have got half the votes.Quite right. I'm not sure what this obsession with policy is 2 years out from a GE. It's like the media are hounding Labour for them so they can pick it apart and help the Tories. Starmer & Labour need to keep their heads down for a bit now, let Truss implode and then come up with a sensible policy package that is very much the opposite of what Truss is offering.
Fight the Tories when we need to, and don't leave ourselves open to attack in the meantime. I don't see much point in trying to stop a fight between two bullies, when there's a fair chance they will just stop scrapping and come after us instead.
In an ideal world we would have population which is more "left" and even a more balanced media, never mind one to the left. In that situation we could list out loads of policies, and people would come over and the press wouldn't have anything to attack, or want to attack it. The problem is that's not the game we're playing.
