Ah yes because the way to win people back is to make them more tax than the already record highs they're paying now.

I suspect a push against Starmer is beginning to build. But with the Net Zero lunacy definitely on the way out rather than tax hikes. Labour simply cannot go into the next election with it as a policy. Need to ditch it ASAP.
And that is going to cause even more rifts but I cannot really see much electoral damage in that for them beyond reduced majorities in urban seats.
Both Labour and the Tories are in immense trouble now thanks to Reform. Labour are certainly in a better position to see off the threat but as things stand, not sure they have the IQ bandwidth to grasp that. And they do have to grasp it because they literally, as things stand, having nothing meaningful to counter Reform with. They are not going to do anything to stop the illegals showing up, they cannot raise taxes.
Hence why ditching Net Zero is the only option open to them in terms of proclaiming they are listening.

The idea of Farage being an existential threat is laughable.
The only threat to our existence as a people is mass immigration.

When they raise taxes all Reform need to do is explain that it's used for illegal immigrants. Whether true, partially true or entirely false won't really matter. Are there any actual politicians in the Labour party who understand anything of modern politics?
What Labour will be doing is, for example, lowering tax thresholds or raising NI now (I can't see them actually raising income tax but could be wrong), then six months before the election reverse the raises and call them tax cuts. We've all seen it countless times before.
