Labour's comms team is inadvertently teaching Conservative counterparts a valuable lesson - don't do it like this
By Giles Dilnot Verified| ConservativeHome@ I don’t hate the Labour Party. I disagree with them. I don’t always agree with my own party – but that’s politics. I do however advocate talking to opponents, even being friends. This is not virtue signalling, it’s good strategy. I want to understand why they dislike Conservatism, why they believe their plan (so far as I can discern one) is better than ours (so far as I can, at the moment, get hold of one). I want to understand my opponents and learn from their mistakes.

It was three weeks into the Liz Truss Premiership that had opened with the death of Her Majesty the Queen. To a newbie to Government it was the grandest baptism of fire I could imagine.
