Labour has today revealed the winner of its crowd-sourced "create Labour's next ad" competition. It follows the success of the spoof MyDavidCameron website.
After the success earlier this year of websites – like MyDavidCameron.com – spoofing Conservative posters, the Labour party has today revealed the winner of its crowd-sourced “create Labour’s next ad” competition.
Jacob Quagliozzi, a 24-year old supporter from St. Albans, designed the winning idea. According to Labour, his poster warns that David Cameron would take Britain on a time-travel journey back to the socially divisive early-80s when the nation was scarred by youth unemployment and social unrest. His design was chosen from more than 1,000 submitted in just three days. A range of the designs are currently on Labour’s website.
This week Mr Quagliozzi visited Labour’s ad agency, Saatchi & Saatchi, in London to work with the agency’s creative directors. The design will be revealed by Ed and David Miliband in Basildon tomorrow.
Watch a video of Jacob’s trip to Saatchi & Saatchi:
Mr Quagliozzi said:
“I wanted to remind the public that David Cameron has failed to change the Conservative Party and show the threat they would pose to young people.”
“In a clear message to young voters the Miliband brothers will highlight the way an uncaring Tory Government presided over division and decay and left a generation on the scrapheap.
“The Tories, they will say, would take Britain back to the dark ages of the 1980s by failing to support economic recovery and put at risk Labour’s policies to give young people the training, jobs and start in adult life that they need.”
To reach hundreds of thousands of new readers and to make the biggest impact we can in the next general election, we need to grow our donor base substantially.
That's why in 2024, we are seeking to generate 150 additional regular donors to support Left Foot Forward's work.
We still need another 124 people to donate to hit the target. You can help. Donate today.

Guys, unless you reside in an alternative universe, this poster has been a complete disaster for Labour. The blogosphere has been all over it.
Gene Hunt is the best disinfectant Cameron could have ever wished for.
My God, are the Left THIS stupid??
By the way Jacob, I hear the Tories want to make you an honorary Conservative. Congratulations for adding another couple of percentage points to their tally!

Genius. This stuff is purest genius. You couldn’t come up with a better portrayal of Cameron if you tried. I’m still laughing. Brilliant, brilliant Labour. Thanks you.
