No leader of any political party in the last 40 years has had it as easy as Starmer.
The MSM, particularly Sky & BBC ferociously went for Labour from the moment of the election. Whether it was declared gifts or even meeting T Swift’s mum it was absolutely non-stop until they managed to get resignations. Although still awful now TBH
No govt has suffered such ridiculous scrutiny, faux outrage and stupid questioning. And certainly not one in the last 14 years.
The story was generated by the fact that Starmer told all his MP’s to declare everything leading to the story that Cooper didn’t declare a T Swift as it as below the minimum limit.
A particular low was achieved when answers to ‘why did you accept the ticket’ was ‘because you invited me’
Ridiculous.
Boy oh boy... you should have seen what they did to Corbyn’s Labour Party!
Institutional innovations? Private finance ?
NHS further Private / Public policy ?
Realign Labour with the values of the Party’s lost voters ?
Eject left leaning critics ?
When the LP refused to lift the two child benefit cap and withdrew the universal pensioner winter fuel allowance because the country 'couldn't afford it' was utter economic nosense. Tax revenue does not fund
An article that is the opposite of critical comment.
Which leaves a massive unrepresented majority to the left of him who want neither Austerity nor Privatisation and thought that they’d voted for that
