While it's easy for the media to make hay with "Labour chaos" headlines, is it possible that Starmer will benefit in political PR terms, purely because of the distancing from what would have been Corbyn's position? Have Harry Cole et al missed the point on this, ie Starmer looks principled on this issue so media attacks misfire? Certainly seems put of kilter with their previous flip-flop/unprincipled line. Makes it difficult to push a consistent attack line, and likely to actually benefit Starmer longer term?

Political messaging question

Given everything going on with Braverman currently and Sunaks inability to sack her it seems like the perfect situation in PMQs for Starmer to repeat Blair’s ‘Weak! Weak! Weak!’ line

But I’m curious if replays of famous lines/moments are a good thing in political messaging or if he’s gonna have to think of his own formulation to basically say the same thing?
