UK Labour Party, Used as Inspiration by Dems, Wiped Out

Peloni:  Huge political defeat for Labor in UK.

Sharing “campaign lessons from Labour’s victory with Democrats.”

The Democrats used the British Labour Party as their template in 2024. The slick political technocracy with carefully market tested slogans and massive bot campaigns across social media seemed effective. At least until the country woke up and saw what a disaster PM Keir Starmer had been.

The wipeout came and it’s bad.

Overall, it was clearly a bruising election for Starmer’s Labour Party, which lost in Wales for the first time in a century and has shed more than 1,000 England council seats. It was another strong performance by Nigel Farage’s Reform UK, which notched up wins at the expense of both Labour and the Conservatives, the latest sign of the erosion of Britain’s two-party system.

The public is angry, the losses are historic, and Labour, which only got as far as it did because the Tories had exhausted every expectation that conservative and common sense voters had, is down. But Reform UK’s wins offer little hope because Farage has even less credibility at this point than the Tories do. He puts on a show and that’s about it. Considering his problematic ties to Islamists, there’s no route here. Meanwhile the Greens, now literally the red-green alliance of Islamists and Marxists, have made their headway, marking the growing Islamization of the UK.

Quite a disaster for the people whom Dems had seen as a model.

The British government’s chief of staff, head of communications, director of policy and director of strategy have allied with the Kamala campaign while the British government’s ruling Labour Party is working with the Democrats to send staffers to work for her in key swing states.

The ‘British invasion’ first began over the summer when top figures in the British government and the Labour party, including Prime Minister Starmer’s Chief of Staff and the heads of the Labour Party headed to the Democratic National Convention with a view, as one put it, to “ensuring we get on the right road to getting a second term”.

In October, the British Labour Party’s Head of Operations announced that nearly 100 Labour Party staffers were “heading to North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Virginia” as part of a campaign by ‘Labour for Kamala’.

A British Labour delegation to the Democratic National Convention was led by Starmer’s Chief of Staff Morgan McSweeney who headed his campaign and had created the Center for Countering Digital Hate to censor conservatives in the UK and America.

The DNC delegation also included Matthew Doyle, Starmer’s head of communications, while being hosted by the Progressive Policy Institute: a Democrat Party think tank that is also currently employing Claire Ainsley who had served as Starmer’s Executive Director of Policy.

PPI, the Democrat think tank, also announced that it’s also hosting British Labour “strategist Deborah Mattinson” to share “campaign lessons from Labour’s victory with Democrats.”

British observers of American politics first noted that the Kamala campaign appeared to have borrowed her baffling “turn the page” and “end the chaos” slogans from the Labour Party which had campaigned on a promise to “stop the chaos, turn the page, start to rebuild”.

Starmer is still relying on the overused ‘chaos’ slogan.

Starmer responded by vowing to stay put, fight on, and improve his message to the public. Saying his 22-month-old government had done too little to give the U.K. hope, the center-left leader promised to show “the steps that we will take to deliver the change that they want and that they deserve.” He added: “I’m not going to walk away from those challenges and plunge the country into chaos.”
