For those who CBA to watch, the answer is "no".
The one thing I do disagree with though is this notion that it is "Starmer's approach"; it isn't.
The approach is that of the degenerate faction who have somehow been brought back into the top despite serial incompetence and serial disloyalty; the people whose true support within the party is shown by Kendall getting 4% in a vote of party members in 2015. Currently they are engaged in their favourite hobby of trolling the membership, and they will proceed from this to getting unexpectedly beaten in another election (which is the one thing they are actually good at).
They'll blame Starmer and insist that whoever the "left wing" candidate is in the next leadership election is unelectable, via their columns on the Tory press.
Wait, the labour front lines have sleeper agents occupying positions of purpose as well?
The UK, 'For Sale'.

I know you have to play the game to get elected, but that sunak poster feels like a step into the right wing gutter
Is completely embarrassing. Labour’s PR team all need sacked. Can’t believe people sat round a table and came up with this guff. Is this the best they can come up with for a party that’s pissed all over people for 13 years.

Conservative mantra of small state means less prisons etc. With ever increasing population the criminal element either needs more prison space or state and its law criminalise and imprison less people. This literally needs putting across very simply to large swathes of the electorate. The Tories have chosen to criminalise and imprison less people to pursue small state objectives. This is the result and needs to be highlighted.

Don't like this but in a way, can't blame Labour PR Play the Conservatives at their own game. Labour seem to spend half their time having to defend themselves from absurd Conservative lies, so, feck it, play them at their own game. No point turning up to nuclear war with submarines blowing fairy bubbles.

Been plenty of time for Starmer to step in, he hasn't. Neither has the tweet been removed
Its done to coincide with the Easter break/Good Friday where not only is political news scarce but it is generally a slow news weekend caveat being natural disasters Ukraine etc)
It's about time we saw some teeth from Starmer. Instead of meekly worrying about the right-wing media circus, who will go for him whatever he does, I want to see Labour on the attack much more. They have held back for too long, with Starmer being too easy on Johnson which I assumed was because of the emergency the country was in with the pandemic. He was much critsied for going easy in a national emergency its laughable to the point of churlish contempt he cannot now.
The gloves need to come off now. Sunak wanted the job, then it comes with the territory. Who cares if he is a relatively new MP? He carries the can for the party and their disastrous policies.
And the time the Braverman has spent organising barges for refugees or visiting Rwanda, she and government could have fixed this.
It clearly isn't a priority for the Tories
A further law & order tweet has been published. So this is part of a concerted campaign.

The thing is mate, the Tories are soft on peadophiles. Almost so soft its alarming. I'm glad someone has point that out.

I agree they should be more forceful, but diving headfirst into dishonest attack ads is not the right way to do it.
There are much bigger problems with the way law and order is maintained in the UK, not least the fact that increasing inequality and cuts to services are causing a lot of what the papers call breakdown. Highlighting that and offering actual solutions are what is required, not aping a style of politics that leads the country down a terribly dark road.
Labour's big problem is that the people around Starmer are idiots. This campaign is idiotic.
A pretty dreadful interview Thornberry just gave on R4. This attack ad has really tied them up in knots for little apparent benefit. A really crazy move.
