"Win the future" is literally meaningless.
But that's WiTF it don't workHave just seen the new catchphrase "Win the future".
Has no-one got the balls to tell him it's missing the word "in"? A rhetorical question, I know, but at least him saying he wants to "win in the future" make some sense.
"Win the future" is literally meaningless.
This is a truth often forgotten. In our digital age, where so many younger people are encouraged to make a go at starting their own YT/Tiktok/etc account to make money, and to be individual businesses in a modern day equivalent of Thatcher's start-up economy, the old world is antique. If you're relatively young, got a mortgage, doing okay for yourself, you're not voting Labour.The youth who grew up in a world already remade in a Thatcherite conceptualisation of society, for whom Blairite public-private partnerships are a given and it is natural to see the market as the best way of organising things — these youth are natural Conservative voters.
"Win the future" is literally meaningless.
a sane person will say 'win the future' now. only they'll suffix it with 'is a really shit vacuous slogan' or similarWhich is the only thing I've seen from Starmer and pals in years that makes me think they might have figured out how this game works. We are living in the era of 'Brexit Means Brexit' after all.
Of course the one thing they haven't picked up on is you also need half a dozen newspapers on your side who will repeat your chosen piece of three-word gibberish so often that it actually becomes a real thing that a sane person might say.

brexit means brexit is a mayism
win the future is a starmerism, a phrase which sounds like a great promise but is vacuous and devoid of meaning
I don't see a labour future being much better than a Tory presentIt doesn't sound like a promise at all to me. It sounds like "vote Labour so that Labour can win.... for reasons".
Starmer definitely did his best to lock up the youth vote back when he was DPP, but he's been out of that job for a fair few years now.do they?

Win in future might have worked but if Labour want to tie themselves to wtf that down to themNo it's not. It's shit but it's not meaningless and 'win in the future' (when? 300 years from now?) would be even shitter. The future cannot be literally 'won' but if the only meaningful sentences were ones that were capable of being literally true then almost no literature or art would exist.

Not that I actually care. But it's just a measure of how stupid and lacking in political skill Sir Keir really is. Total dumbo.

But he's going for the vote in famously union-hating northern towns remember, not the union-loving metropolitan elite vote. He is a cleverer person than you or I, that's why you struggle to understand his strategy.Idk about anyone else, but I feel like the BFAWU thing is maybe a bit more of an important story, for the symbolism as much as anything else:
I mean, obviously union leaders are not the same thing as the workers they represent, but even so, for Labour/Starmer to be picking a fight with the union that represents Greggs workers and is doing more than anyone else to organise at McDonalds and Wetherspoons... well, it's an interesting way to reconnect with working-class voters.
he's never liked a day in which he didn't ban somethingI see that despite his busy schedule of alpaca-murdering, Ser Keith has found time to ban the Palestine Solidarity Campaign from Labour's conference.
