Labour Isn't Working

Analysis

A long queue outside an unemployment office gives a political claim a visible shape. The headline connects unemployment with the governing party.

“LABOUR ISN'T WORKING.”
Visual metaphorWordplayNegative positioning

Why it worked

The queue makes the issue clear from a distance. The short headline turns that image into a criticism that a reader can repeat.

Lesson

Connect one visible problem with one clear message.
