Almost feel sorry for him.

Almost, but not quite.

So should he be using this Downing Street platform to attack Labour?

This is the speech Will from the Inbetweeners never got to say when he was organising the prom.

This needs to be everywhere. The tory scum used Kinnock's slip on the beach to beat him way back in the day, time to turn the tables.

I’m naturally pessimistic but I just hope Labour don’t do, say or plan anything stupid. Let Sunak do the work himself, that’s all it takes.

Bring it on.
Don't listen to the bullshit, remember what they have done to this country, everything has got worse, NHS. all services, water and rivers full of shit. national debt tripled meaning it will be harder for a future government to repair the damage. schools run down, poverty and homeless rife Sleaze off the scale yet they have the nerve to say don't throw away the progress we have made. what progress.

In an economic sense he’s right imo, I don’t think Labour can/will reverse the course of the trajectory the country is on but hopefully they can affect change in other areas aside from the economy. Starmer does have a lot to prove.

Yeah, that's exactly the line of thinking that the blue Tories are relying on. It minimises the utter clown show they've presided over for 14 years because it definitely could never improve could it? May as well just vote tory eh! Better the devil you know and all that.

People said the same in 97 and were totally wrong.

People said the same in 2015 and we got a hard Brexit.

Let’s not propagate the pernicious lie that is designed to dissuade people from voting.

IMO 1997 was a different era, nearly 30 years ago. If the electorate were smart enough to vote the Tories out in 2015, we may have had a chance but imo there’s been too much of a shift since COVID to get the economy under any sort of control in the next 5 years. It will be a volatile thing. So my hope is they bring about change in other areas but I don’t expect them to fix the economy. Too big a job. Don’t think it’s a propagating a lie per se.
