Labour’s battle plan to take on Reform

In Doncaster , Labour has enjoyed almost total political dominance for decades .

Now, the party’s internal polling shows it is on course to lose power of the city council.

But the threat to Labour in Doncaster is not from the Conservative Party , the official opposition.

Reform's message that “ Britain is broken’ resonating with disaffected voters like Graham .

Starmer ’s aides have identified three specific policy areas in which Labour must demonstrate delivery’ to the public.

These areas represent some of the top concerns of Reform-inclined voters.

The Home Office is working up plans to offer more regular updates on enforcement of rules prohibiting work by illegal migrants.

The second Reform-busting policy area is the state of Britain 's high streets, which are riddled with low-level crime and pockmarked with potholes.

There have been few direct attacks on Reform by Labour but plans are now in motion for a fully-functioning local election war machine.

Ellie Reeves , sister of Chancellor, told Labour MPs last week that explicitly anti-Reform literature would soon be available for local canvassing.
