With captain Hindsight Keir Starmer doing his best to attack the Tories on their policy choices during the Pandemic, Mr Curtice states that attacking the government during a crisis which is still active can make people turn on Labour.
Starmer needs to realise that he agreed to all decision taken over the pandemic period, so any attack on the Tories over decisions taken can be squared at Labour aswell.
Polling expert Sir John Curtice tells @Peston that Labour’s strategy of attacking the government on the grounds of incompetence is far from foolproof, as “occasionally that government might prove to be competent”. #Peston pic.twitter.com/OubtLgUtzF

The opposition isn’t there to oppose everything the government does , only the bad things. If you oppose everything then you look like an opportunistic idiot. That doesn’t have the capacity for open minded thought.
