Let's be clear: if Labour had done well, they'd be saying "our tack rightwards is working"; if doing badly, "we need to tack further to the right". There's no strategy here, just a desire to be a right-wing government.

Reform’s success today matters politically; of course
But it also matters in terms of *policy* because if both Labour & Conservatives are worried about shedding votes to them - they’re likely to tack closer towards them in terms of their policy offer

So why isn't #Labour offering hope and change, John? Why are they still appeasing the far right?
For centrists, "don't discount the far right" = enact far-right policies, not counter the far right.
