“People don’t understand the growth story, we know that is to enable us to do the social justice stuff that we all care about but people aren’t translating that. We grow the economy so that we do the things we care about in public services. That isn’t landing with people. We’ve got to bring that narrative alive."

People have heard this story before dude, and they rejected it then. Because it's been said before and it didn't turn out that way, back in the 00s.

Labour mayoral candidate on race to stop Reform – and ‘Doge Lincolnshire’

Jason Stockwood, ex-chair of Grimsby Town FC, has plan for keeping rival Andrea Jenkyns from implementing US-style cuts

The Guardian

This guy is going to lose, I know it. He sounds just like every other Labour politician from the Business Classes, and the voters know it too.

Labour's big idea, they accept they're seen as having drifted from their original mission of serving the interests of the Working Class so have a businessman represent them and talk like a London political consultant....just like they always do. 🤷‍♂️

"We need to grow the Economy, and we do this by punishing the Poor, and letting off Rich Tax payers, like we always do. We're different, we're change, I owned your local football team, isn't football great?!"

Yawn.
