I'm not sure anyone but us nerds give a shit about this, much as they don't for the Tories' own internal calamities either. Labour are stuck here for a much simpler reason: because they offer nothing.

Maybe, but you do raise an interesting point.
I know you probably mean "offer nothing" in the broader sense, but on the issue of their 'policy offer', I'd be hard pressed to identify any LP policy on anything with any certainty...and I'm one of the 'nerds'.
Anyone know any?

Surely Brexit Party will be null and void by next election... Expect most of those votes to go Tory.

They are now Reform UK, an anti-lockdown party, and can probably expect to mop up a few of the most swivel-eyed.

Especially if Dishy Rishi, the most socialist politician in England is in charge by then.

Another dead issue in four years time
Though the chance of something new to come along is there i guess

Exasperated, not angry.
all depends on wtf happens with brexit, really. Obviously farage and co will cry 'betrayal' whatever happens. But whether they'll risk running many candidates when they have a hard right government in place anyway is well up for debate.

There'll always be 'culture wars' positions to take.

Well, I mean it in the broad sense of its uselessness but also exactly what you're talking about. What would a Starmer Labour government bring about, or what would a reasonable person think it to be vaguely about?
I know that we shouldn't expect policy pledges in the middle of a term, but you would expect to have some idea what a party is about or for. Most people had some idea what Corbynism was about, whether it was mild social democracy or purging all the Jews or bringing about Full Communism.
Oh I reckon they will. As brogdale says, there always culture-war positions to take, and taking them is Fartage's modus operandi. It's how he makes his living. He won't stop until either he runs out of grifting opportunities or he turns up his toes.
Farage will, if only to make himself feel relevant and keep the cheques rolling in from the swivel-eyed and terminally gullible.

LAB are deliberately avoiding policy announcements, i expect because
1. an election is four years away - not even midway through the term
2. Starmers stated number one priority is Directing Prosecutions against the left
3. they're concentrating on holding the government to account (by frowning a lot)
4. the longer Starmer can hold out from showing himself to be a lightweight sellout on policy the longer he survives

Party members like Truss because she's always plastering her social media self-promotion with flags of 'white' nations with which she's struck trade deals (for cheese).

An Opinum poll in April. There was lots of 20% leads around then.

It's what the whole thing has been set up to produce, so no surprise.
I do think the premise is flawed; neither responsibility and blame need be zero sum. The public have been irresponsible, the government has been shit, the two don't need to be compared.
It occurs to me that the same thing is happening with Brexit, whereby it's encouraged that we see things as the retailers' fault - why didn't they prepare better? etc.
