Possibly trying for many,  not what they expected,  talking of big shoulders,  is the Cabinet going to lead the way?  Not on your Nelly.

You mean in much the same way as we were all in it together with George Osborne and David Cameron?

Not content with appearing to try to bankrupt the country, Keir wants those with the biggest shoulders to bear the brunt of the tax rises and spending cuts... you mean like the pensioners, drivers, the actual working class (not those who don't work and who vote Labour but those who do actually work) and those who have been successful but now have to give it all away in the name of communism...

 

Apologies for the bit of a rant, but blaming the Tories for 4/5 years isn't going to cut it!

Kier Starmer should be targeting the 16-24 age group where there are nine hundred thousand who are not in education or working rather than targeting pensioners.

You and  I both know politicians on all sides always make such statements with their fingers tightly crossed behind their backs.

There's some dodgy stuff creeping out about Labour already... but it'll be forgotten about because 'they're not the Tories'.

 

For a party throwing shade for so long, you'd think they'd try to be whiter than white instead of using it as an excuse act in the same way...

Not been a great 7 weeks for Labour, really...

 

But unlike them and their supporters (of which i once was) i'm looking forward and my crystal ball isn't particularly rose-tinted right now...

 

Next year we will all be saying how Labour found it difficult because the Tories left the country in such a mess, and we will be right.

Don't mention them again,  I thought they were out of touch with the electorate.

I don’t recall you pointing out the ‘dodgy stuff creeping out’ from the Conservatives fourteen years in power but I guess you’d forgotten about that because they weren’t Labour.
