Just the bones of it, media conspiracy, fifth columnists in the party etc.

Pre-Corbyn, the tories ridiculed Ed Milliband for proposing "marxist" caps on energy prices, only to then find that polls liked it and so the tories legislated it in themselves. Tories often adopt Labour policy for their own agenda to hold power no matter what.

So what? You can’t enact policy in opposition.

 

Corbyn blew it, Brexit policy, IRA, Dianne Abbot all added up.

Party politics is rough and tumble, look at the stick May and BJ and Cameron get/got.

but they can influence policy. Labour's role in opposition is to correct wayward factions under Boris's helm.

Some call it consolidation.

Afterall, politicians care what their public thinks of them

True. The left used to have ideas. Their prob now is no political party can inclusively appeal to all the hyper diverse "communities" in the UK. When each insists only it's issues matter and stuff everyone else's, what can be done other than resort to status quo (Rockin all over the world!)?

Got any pointers?

They have a bigger problem than the general population. They have momentum and the unions hold too much power.
