The lesson to be learned

By the Labour Party on the Democrats defeat in the US is that not being the other party just isn't enough.

In fairness, the wave of optomism that swept Biden and Harris to power was never going to survive reality.

On jobs and the economy, biden dd a great job, as I understand it.

Thing is, even though data and analysis shows this, the Trumps and Trumpettes spouting the oposite have more traction, and in challenging those lies takes far longer than the spout the lies.

A compicated truth is harder to sell than a simple lie.

And then there is the Middle East. The Democats tied their flag to Israel's, while Israel bombed Gaza and now Lebanon back to the stone age, committing war crimes and crimes against humanity on a daily basis, with the IDF soldiers literally filming their acts as they did so.

All Biden did was sell Israel more weapons to bomb more hospitals, kill more women and children.

There is a large Muslim community in the US as here in UK, and they might have just baulked at the idea of supporting a party that supported and enabled genocide against their kin in Gaza.

Condemming Russia for the same thing in Ukraine while supporting Israel is hyprocritical, and I believe the end of Western Values as we know them.

So, for Labour, must show that the policies they bring do make the country better and that people are made aware of how much better things really are. They have mis-stepped, allowing the Mail to highlight the failings, and at times, hypocrisy. The country has been promised jam tomorrow my the previous Tory Governments for 14 years, and things got worse, a lot worse.

Highlighting where all the money went might help, and getting as much of it back would also help.

But the press is not on Labour's side, so trying to please the editor of the Mail will not work, might as well really piss him off by doing policies that really make poor people better off, that will save the NHS not add profits to Prvate Health Providers.

Bear in Mind, we could still be two months from the end of Sunak's Government, had he not called for the election.
