I have thoughts about UK Gov comms, but suffice to say that since his not-a-reset speech all I feel like I’ve really heard is No. 10 denouncing a Bake Off scandal, Wes Streeting harming trans youth, and now some sandwich drama Starmer felt the need to weigh in on. Honestly what are this lot doing - ThreadSky

I thought the opposite thought - that the Gov was getting on with governing - making big decisions about our relationship with Europe, making change to planning/housing policy, and dragging us toward energy security.

I also see the more substantive steps the gov is beginning to take. My original comment was poorly made, sorry, and more related to gov media management/relations rather than gov action.

Every time the PM/No. 10 weigh in on culture war nonsense, they distract from their substantive priorities.

You’re right about the Comms! But to be fair, I saw Ed Milliband on Sky today (he’s usually so bad at media) but he made some good points on Syria and Energy - and was asked to relive a bacon sandwich gaffe from a decade ago! He’s a clever guy - must be so frustrating - but he did it with humour 😁

He’s impressing me in his portfolio! And I saw that image AGAIN today. The poor guy will never be allowed to forget that one awkward moment

Meanwhile the media are desperately trying to find content to get clicks, because they think we are too thick to be serious - and they’re right in part. How much bloody time was spent yesterday discussing sandwiches?

No one will remember Badenoch in 5 years, let alone her views on lunch, but maybe, just maybe, your kids, my kids will have a home of their own. We’ll see.
