Labour campaign photo looks like man with bad bowel movement, party mocked and derided

Starmer’s party so far out of touch it’s painful – and the subject of its post seems to share the agony

The Labour party’s woeful campaigning for today’s local elections has continued with widespread mockery of a dire campaign post showing a man who looks more like he’s suffering pain from a difficult bowel movement than urging people to vote:

The post, whose pink hearts seem to have no connection to the wording, says nothing about Labour policies and instead just repeats “stopping reform” and “keeping tories out” over and over, demanding that people ‘secure change’ by keeping things the same, voting for the party causing the current chaos to avoid a ‘return’ of the previous chaos. It provides yet another example of the party’s complete political and moral bankruptcy and its dishonest war on the vulnerable, including disabled people, children and pensioners, that makes it functionally indistinguishable from the Tories and Reform – and its complete lack of connection to ordinary people and their needs and concerns. And hundreds of commenters pointed out the same as the post backfired in a big way. A small selection of examples is shown below:

The Labour regime’s panic at its widely-predicted drubbing in local elections today and its complete lack of intention to actually improve anything could hardly be more clearly on display.

According to Labour’s ‘mission swatch’ of campaign colours, which was widely mocked yesterday, the hearts in the woeful image are ‘growth pink’:

That might at least explain the pained expression on the poor lad’s face, if any further explanation than Labour’s terrible campaigning and politics is needed.
