I agree, but it also doesn't help when the Labour opposition have had a string of weak opposition leaders.
Even Keir Starmer seems content to sit back and only critise the Government's response the day or days after a grim milestone/but of news.
Why isn't he constantly saying that the UK should totally shut their borders, for example? He should be saying this and nothing else, and directing the rest of Labour to do the same. That's how an effective opposition works.
Instead he generally chooses silence.
