"One thing we learnt from the UK Election 2024 is this: If you want to win an election, focus on telling the public what you want to do first and how you would govern the country better.
"Do not concentrate on attacking the government in power or your other opponents.
"You could do that, but it should not be your single issue. You have to offer a better alternative to the public."
