To capitalise on Tory disorder, Labour must set out a clear vision and policies

Andy Beckett is right to entreat the Labour party to paint the Conservatives as the party of disorder (The Tories profited from Labour ‘chaos’ in the 1970s. Can Starmer do the same now?, 22 April). But Labour needs to do much more than this to win back ex-Labour voters and win over new voters – it must set out a clear vision and set of policies to achieve it.

Keir Starmer needs to move on from his parliamentary focus of forensically dissecting of this government’s incompetence and corruption. That has been effective and is recognised by all but the most blinkered voter. He now needs to move out from the parliamentary capsule and articulate how he, as a Labour prime minister, would rid the country of its current politics of corruption, privilege, division and incompetence.
