Labour has selective hearing on immigration, and they ignore everything else. They will always be out-manoeuvred on the right. They're utterly devoid of nous or strategy. Hopeless

I'm on board with that. But the change of narrative needs to come from the top. Not just style but also showing delivery, at a more rapid pace.

They do take time to achieve but the narrative of it'll take us 10 years to fix isn't doing them any favours. That just tells me they want a 2nd term. They boxed themselves in with the no tax rises thing. The obvious answer is access to EU market but there again, too scared of Reform

Labour has selective hearing: Reform-like on immigration but not on the underlying issue of why they appeal - better public services. The promised Change hasn't arrived. Just timidity

I'm able to separate myself and my actions from other people's and don't judge the ones with the most difficult choice. You're very focused on this rather than the majority white people who happily voted for him. Why is that?

Thanks. I've similarly disregarded your selective opinion as irrelevant

Sizeable chunk of the democrat vote when SIGNIFICANTLY MORE than that sliver voted for the Orange Menace? Should have replaced Biden earlier, had a primary, a better candidate, a candidate who didn't speak to the economy, gone on Joe Rogan. But yes, let's blame the anti genociders instead

How wonderful to blame those who've lost family, friends or take a principled stand. Rather than the bigots, crazies and greedy who voted for him and outnumber the former massively.

Thank you for this measured analysis. Tech bros on one hand and a Democratic gerontacracy on the other - and they wonder why they lost. Bracing myself for the future
