An unofficial Labour briefing for the upcoming election on December 12 has been released, with claims that that the party cannot ‘mention Remain’ to the electorate because ‘93%’ of current Labour seats are threatened predominantly by Conservatives. The briefing also commands campaigners to ‘Ignore Blairite MPs’, ‘Do not mention that European Referendum topic, whatever it was called’, and to only push the image of Jeremy Corbyn gently at the start, and wait for his popularity ratings to increase. The document also says that main Labour figures such as Laura Pidcock, Barry Gardiner, Andrew Gwynne and Rebecca Long-Bailey should be ‘amplified’ in the media. Heaven knows why.
Gerry does not think this is going to work spectacularly well…
