It looks like Labour are to fight fire with fire. It may not be the moral thing to do, but the moral thing did not work out in 2016 when Trump defeated Clinton by telling lies and generating hatred and division. Sadly, too many voters remember catchphrases, Boris Johnson used this to great effect in the 2019 General Election when his promises, despite being torn apart by the media, won over the electorate.
Rishi Sunak has stated that Starmer is on the side of people smugglers. Suella Braverman has claimed that 100 million refugees want to come to the UK. The Conservatives are basically telling lies, but these lies win over voters.
I do not like Labour fighting dirty, but I do think that if the Conservatives continue to punch below the belt, Labour should do the same and punch harder.
