Now that the tories lead is even greater how do Labour come back from this?
From a narrow Labour perspective the key elements are probably getting some more recognisable figures off select committees and on the front bench as the election approaches, and hoping that the joke of Johnson wears thin too late for the Tories to switch.
From a broader hope for the nation’s future POV, then maybe we (the very loose anti-Johnsonian alliance) have to accept there is no single solution that will suit us all, whatever our political priorities are. There has always been dishonesty and incompetence and nastiness in government - but it was at least seen as something to decry and resist. Allowing Johnsonian government, intentionally or not, means giving up on this country, imo. It is that serious. So all intelligent people of good political conscience need to think about what can be done to remove him before they focus on anything else. None of the things that decent people want, from across the political spectrum (market capitalists, social democrats, environmentalists, Celtic nationalists or unionists, fiscal and/or traditional one-nation Conservatives, egalitarians, liberals… anybody) can happen until he is gone.
