"Bridge the Divide Between the Young, Urban Left and the Traditional Democratic Base by Focusing on Work"

"True, it has been easier for Biden to connect with working people than for Starmer: the president's roots, his story and his manner lend him an authenticity not easily replicated. And he was up against a genuine monster in Donald Trump. Johnson is a tougher opponent, governing as a social democrat in a blue rosette, willing to tax and spend big–'a Brexity Hezza,' he called himself–and not in denial about Covid. But if Starmer were to adopt Bidenomics on jobs, 'the Tories would never be able to go there,' says Cruddas: ultimately their Thatcherite creed would hold them back. Labour would have that fertile ground all to itself."

Following another election defeat for the Labour Party, Jonathan Freedland at The Guardian recommends that the Party follows the model of Joe Biden.
