Labour would have have more, longer lockdowns.  The country would be in a worse financial mess than it is now.

It would be good to compare England/Wales/Scotland.

 

Hopefully Starmer would have had the test and trace system working a little better.

Do you think Sir  Starmer will be worried about Hartlepool  or will he put it down to the brexit bounce ?

Presumably, both devolved Scotland & Wales, in charge of their countries own health matters, will have their respective leaders face questions from their own electorate or will the SNP's Sturgeon & Welsh Labour's Drake Ford, try & dodge those bullets by using Johnson as a political human shield? 

 

I'm guessing the latter?

Labour policy is to be better in Government than the Tories. Less than 150,000 COVID deaths would be a start. Start by attenting COBRA meetings and not aiming for herd immunity.

The Labour 2019 manifesto promised a 4.3% real terms annual increase in the health budget over the next parliament.

Pity that the country doesnt believe that they would manage that

They all try to dodge bullets. Test and Trace was national, but as you say, they each have their own NHS.

And the long standing, anti-semitism problem within the Labour Party remains.

I dont know but the Brexit Bounce is a term used by Labour to explain their failings .

More like the vaccine bounce?

A recent poll suggests that about half of Labour voters still wish the UK to rejoin the EU.

That just sums it up. The Referendum result was not to their liking, so they wish to repeat it until they obtain a more favourable outcome. As to policies, who knows? Hence it seems implausible that any Labour Party gains can be expected.
