Labour Pains

Election’s coming up. “You need to know
that sex offenders, gun-crime gangs run free
because the Tories shrugged and let them go.
Labour will lock them up and lose the key.”

 It’s just a poster. Tories did the same –
“Because of Starmer, Savile got away”
they said. It was a lie, but that’s the game
and “they don’t like it up’em when we play.”

Boys’ playground talk, and Labour’s massive lead
is shrinking, so they’re desperate to find
a punchy slogan, simple USP
to change the undecided voter’s mind.
This isn’t it. A vision’s what they need
-   shared future hope that anyone can see.
