Who is this supposed to endear him to?
Who is this supposed to endear him to?
Donors and “very serious people” who need to be reassured that this is still Tony Blair’s Labour, and that labour has no part to play in Labour.
I definitely did a double-take on that. “This guy is doing what my predecessor did”.
I guess he’s trying very hard to not be Corbyn?
“This guy is doing what my predecessor did”.
Pretty much, but what Starmer is hoping people will hear is:
“This guy is doing the very unpopular thing my very unpopular predecessor, from whom I am very different, did”.
Given how popular Jez was at the ballot box, that’s not a bad plan.
Yeah this way starmer won’t piss off the right wing and attract the attention of their media, like Corbyn did.
The Jeremy Corbyn attack is one the Tories always fell back on when asked awkward questions in PMQS. If Starmer uses it first to describe the manifesto, it prevents the Tories using it on Labor during the pre-election period. 10/10 top chess move.
You don’t need tactics to defeat the Tories. You just need to let Rishi do a lot of interviews while he talks about how poor he was that he barely even had Sky.
Rating this on the bants alone: 10/10, absolutely amazing.
Who’s the Tory now?
