The recent Opinium poll for the Observer has prompted a significant strategic shift in the Labour party under Keir Starmer. Transitioning from a cautious, technocratic approach, Labour is now positioning itself as a group of disruptors. This shift is highlighted by the unexpected support for a controversial third runway at Heathrow and a more aggressive stance on asylum seekers. Behind closed doors, party leaders are acknowledging a disconnect with working-class voters, prompting a willingness to adopt more provocative tactics reminiscent of Republican strategies.
"Suddenly, in the dark of mid-February, Keir Starmer's Labour government is self-styling its people as disruptors and insurgents... Nothing, but nothing, must now get in the way of economic growth."
"It has all happened in the last couple of weeks. The talk in Starmer circles is of learning not recoiling from Trump and his Republicans."
