three stage strategy - 1. Decontaminate the brand post Corbyn. 2. Show Tories unfit to govern. 3. Show why Labour is a real and compelling alternative
there was massive near universal acceptance he had succeeded on 1 and 2 but not yet a majority convinced by 3. Still very little awareness of policy agenda and continuing frustration re Brexomerta. My sense is the country is absolutely desperate to see the back of the Tories.
The other thing that came out of that discussion was that elections aren't won and lost on the campaign trail, but across the life of the Parliament. The myth of "The Sun Wot Won It" and Brown's bigoted blunders still persist in popular memory (and they should have been dispelled within political circles)
But needs to see a lot more from Labour in terms of policy, messaging, visibility, team, dominance in debate (hard given the never ending Tory circus) and above all hope that things can get better than this. It really is there for the taking. Ps I hope Pat has a big role in the campaign"
