By winning seats from Labour at the next general election and being part of the next government.
I'm grateful Labour are being honest about how deeply entrenched their politics are and how much they hate left wing voters. If they tried to pretend they cared about voters who left them they might come across as reasonable.
I just think It's compelling how bad Keir Starmer is at politics. This morning he gave this disassociated take on possibly the biggest by-election result since David Steel in the 60's.
It's a given he will be gone soon but how did he get to where he is when he is so weirdly out of his depth?
And if someone is passionate about customer service I hope the diocese exorcist visits them in their open office.
I keep seeing job adverts demanding the applicant is "passionate about customer service." What poor sod is passionate about customer service?
Fitting that Starmer might be felled by the crude vagaries of fptp after he disavowed his previous support for electoral reform.
A £240m defence contract without tender.
Their fingerprints all over our health care data.
A meeting in the USA but without any minutes.
Everything around Palantir stinks.

What's the big deal about being protective of your followers and allies? Isn't that obviously self serving?
I do find the "Only McSweeney could have defeated the Tories in 2024" argument unanchored from reality. Do the political journalists who believe this ever consider how awful the Tories were and how Reform stood against the Tories in 2024? It was a gift of an election.
It's probably 2 linked examples of poor judgement: 1. Thinking that sucking up to Trump would work. 2. That Mandelson would be a success in any kind of public role with his scandal laced history.
I wrote this yesterday about the hero city of Minneapolis

The insane factionalism of the Labour party does appear to stop a lot of well educated people from thinking rationally or for that matter, morally.
Keir Starmer did everything he could to be US poodle and his strategy has ended in total humiliation. Both him and Farage are puppets of a hostile foreign nation.
It's obvious that if someone is a bully - you don't just keep appeasing them.
Disastrous strategy by Labour.
I thought it was implied by your mentioning of the green party and another left wing party. But regardless, the question of how Labour will react to competition from the left is going to be very important.
It's interesting to observe the implied threat of the Green party and Your party causing a Reform government. Why is Labour's unwillingness to work with others a subject that is rarely discussed? The refusal of Labour to form a centre/left voting block will likely cause a future Farage govt
🚨 BREAKING: The former leader of Reform UK in Wales, Nathan Gill, has pleaded guilty to #bribery, admitting he received corrupt payments as a Brexit Party MEP in exchange for making statements in the European Parliament to promote Russia’s interests in #Ukraine.
Labour sadly cannot imagine sharing power or electoral pacts even if the alternative is Farage standing outside Number 10 in less than 3 years time, waving to his supporters and walking in to meet his new team.
There is no one in Labour with any chance of reaching power who could imagine electoral pacts. Prepare for your life after Farage stands outside Number 10, waves to his supporters and walks inside to meet his new team.
Labour could possibly agree not to stand in Lib Dem - Conservative contests. However the Labour party's focus is winning everything to satisfy personal ambitions and the historical psycho dramas of their particular faction.
Could Labour reach an agreement with the Green party or Your Party to stop Farage becoming prime minister? The answer is no, even discussing the idea will horrify Labour.
I've been thinking of the next general election which could be less than 3 years away if Labour spots a scintilla of good news and goes for a summer election in 2028. How will Labour respond if there is a united Reform/Conservative ticket?
So true, the right (and to be fair, what's there still is of a left) of the Labour party are trapped in past battles.
Hope is here. #GoGreen

Reshare, repost, sign up.
Be the change.
Wouldn't it be easier to join the Green party?
Besides the "work with" bit, what if the spouse was fruitfully employed?
The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.
Will we listen to his words today?
Was that the most important element of the news about a new party though? Or just desperately looking for a bit of drama? I'm not a fan of this new party btw.
I fear the new party is going to be undone by the conservatism and intolerance of difference that the old left suffers. When the Green party's policies are to the left of Labour's 2017 and 2019 manifestos, why is joining the Greens such a hurdle?
I was struck by how predictable and depressing
Lewis' recommendations were: reshuffle, better comms, no big spending etc. The centre left have so few ideas about policy.
Join the groupscule they belong to and then leave.
