But is “fight-back” the right language to use?

In discussing this cartoon with Marf this after she made a point which I think is relevant – that this could be the wrong strategy for Labour. Are they building up Cameron?

Are ordinary electors going to perceive that Labour thinks that this is a losing battle and, in Marf’s words, are they” empowering Cameron as a political beast to be reckoned with”?

There’s something in that.

I do think we have to wait until the whole conference has run its course and got out of the system before we can judge where we are.
