Starmers latest big idea is a rehash of all the embarrassing shite that Blair, Brown and Miliband engaged in. The idea that all you need to win the proles back is some flag waving and fancy suit just shows how stupid Starmer is and how dumb he thinks we all are.
These people exist in a world so removed from reality that they probably do believe that waving the old butchers apron would be enough. They have a view of the working class that is actually far worse even than the Conservatives under Johnson.
Because Starmer is only able to conceive of a world based on soudbites, branding and marketing he imagines that the working class will have to fall for this shit. Starmer cannot and will not grapple with the 50 year long decline in the Labour vote in working class areas.
He cannot do this because he and his class are central to the reason why it has fallen off a cliff. He is also central to why Corbyn was wholly unable to rebuild it.
The moronic, shallow and useless analysis of why Corbyn lost (see every Dan Hodges column) is that he was regarded as "anti British" or that it was his past support for Irish republicanism or the Israel shite. None of that mattered to any significant degree.
What mattered was that in 2019 he looked like a weaselly, weak bull shitter who was spitting in the face of the working class populations in the North, Midland and North East who voted Brexit. And he looked like that because that is what he became.
He was unable and unwilling to reverse the 50 year shift to labour being a wholly petit bourgeois party that (at best) saw the working class as something for benevolent bureaucrats to administer charity to.
Workers ain't stupid, no matter what Starmer, Paul Mason or Aaron Bastani think. They know instinctively that the guy offering you charity is not your friend. They know instinctively that the middle class reformer is a dangerous enemy as much as the openly raving capitalist is.
Had Corbyn stood up against the wretched politics of the Labour Party then he may well have still lost but he would have gone a long way to starting the "better" kind of politics he said he wanted back in 2015.
