The news that the Tories are now enjoying a 26% poll lead over the government has got them rattled over at Labour Home. There is still not the slightest sign that anyone among the readership has the slightest idea about why people have turned against them. (Hint: it's the economy, stupid.)

The latest lot of solutions from the red corner are no better than the last lot either. A core vote strategy is today's bright idea with radical redistribution mooted by one commenter on the thread. 

The issue of having "tax and spend" as your solution to all known problems can be tricky when you are in a tight corner caused by too much taxing and too much spending.  Unfortunately, I don't think anyone in the Labour party has the sharpness of mind to work out how to solve this conundrum.
