Democrats pick Labour brains on how to counter attacks over immigration and use Harris' past as a prosecutor
Democrats pick Labour brains on how to counter attacks over immigration and use Harris' past as a prosecutor
“That’s very similar to the Keir Starmer playbook when obviously the Conservatives or the right were keen to characterise him as a north London liberal, but we deliberately made a lot of his background as a prosecutor, particular his work in foiling terrorist plots. Ashworth also said he had spoken at an event on how to win over Trump-target working-class voters akin to those in the “Red Wall” in the UK, which Labour took back in July.
While Brits and Americans, Labour and the Democrats and Starmer and Biden and their team have long enjoyed good relations, the Prime Minister and Harris are comparative strangers to each other. But the insider also warned that because Starmer “isn’t your typical Labour West Wing obsessive” and Harris “doesn’t have a long track record on foreign policy generally and Atlanticism specifically”, that “you could see a world in which both got on well but where there’s not a big shared mission – think of Obama and Cameron, they got on well but not to any particular end”.
