Labour ‘communicating’ but no one is listening

The mantra from Labour has been: ‘We must communicate better!’ Sometimes, the person with whom one wishes to communicate no longer wishes to hear.

Attempting to renegotiate the agreement for government is the correct short-term tactic.

But it would be pointless, if not harmful, if it went on for months and ended in a back-down, or small, stale crusts, for Labour. Ask Michael McDowell or John Gormley. It should be a week, maximum. Plus bags packed and walking shoes at the ready.
