The last three comments miss the point entirely, when you have a Labour supporting Mirror newspaper readers saying immigration is their number one priority above both the NHS and the cost of living problem then Labour have a problem. Similarly when a poll of Labour Party members declare support for Starmer is at an all time low, then you have a problem.

And if/when the immigration problem is sorted and the lives of the white working class are still shit, what then?

I'd wager most of them don't know about any of government's achievements that I listed. The big problem Labour have is messaging but they are totally up against it because literally from day one the right wing media have conducted a huge onslaught of disinformation and distraction to convince people that their lives are getting worse every day and the only way to fix it is by stopping the boats.

Reading Starmer's almost daily FB posts is an utterly soul destroying experience. Not because of what he says, but because of the vitriolic reactions he gets from almost everyone. Every positive bit of news is greeted with derision.

It really is about time that reality bit for some people. We had one roll of the dice and we blew it on Brexit. We spent years stripping away our foundations and then we decided to cut ties with our biggest trading partner. And now the proletariat need a hero, a revolutionary who will save us all - fantasists abound.

The same hero who told them Brexit would cure all our ills.

No one said politics was easy and Labour have made it look really hard without any help needed from others.
