My guess it’s a boss problem, not a comms problem. If you don’t have strategic clarity from the top, you can’t confidently put out timely counterpoints without going through horrific and lengthy sign offs, re-writes and waterings down by committee.

The uncertainty is already shifting perceptions. NZ offers immigrant docs a residency class visa *on arrival*, permanent residency in 2 years, and citizenship in 4
The UK offers...extortionate visa fees, possible 10 years to ILR, and a gov unwilling to denounce Idi Amin level deportation thinking

Absolutely it does, but that’s not populism, that’s being popular because you’re a strong, authentic communicator with the power to connect. There’s an overlap but those are different things - one is selling snake oil, the other is seeking to offer real, workable solutions.

Why is Polanski so keen to deny Farage the label of populist? Populists prey on grievance, offer simplistic, unrealistic fixes, pit ‘the people’ against ’the other‘ - whether that’s migrants or a distorted elite - and leave lasting damage once in power. It’s nothing to aspire to.

I think that you think that 'racist intimidation, calls for ethnic violence and police assault' requires a 'measured response' and not unequivocal condemnation is evidence that you have outsourced your morality to your partisanship.
I think we (both the public and commentators alike) need t accept, and factor into our responses, the fact that this government will take a measured response to events. It will not be an "immediate" response (however much we want it to be) but will be considered. We are too expectant of immediacy.

I would love someone to ask Starmer what which he would choose if he’d escaped mortal danger - living without his family or facing near certain death by returning to them.
