Sunak's plans worry me, more than Starmer plans could convince me (if he has one). I do honestly wonder if the power is going ton Rishi's head, because I see more sterness than I do empathy. So shall we just toss a coin.
It's difficult when half the time a simple yes or no will do and the other half you need more nuance but everyone still wants a yes or no bcos anything more is too much to process or care about.
I actually think that's why Sunak looked a bit better. He sometimes did just say yes or no and it moved things on quick. Starmer tried to explain everything, he has a stammer too. Stammers are never good in politics.
I don't think it's a stammer, when I watch Starmer now I can see him trying to find the words so he doesn't put his foot in it. No conviction and far too scared to lose. I've got no time for Sunak but he knows he's toast so he seems to be talking bollox without a care in the world.
Yeah, I got that sense that Starmer had the pressure on him whilst Sunak knows he can go in guns blazing. Sunak came across as "listen, this is what I'm gonna do. That's the answer, vote for it or don't." Which I think left a lot more pressure on Starmer to say exactly what he wants to do.
Are the manifestos out yet? He might become a bit more meaningful when he actually has something to talk about. This walking on eggshells from him is ****.
Missed opportunity for Starmer on the nah nah nee nees ... He mentioned closing non-dom tax loopholes for the super rich and Sunak scowled and said 'we've already done that' ... Starmer had the open goal of "yes ... but 14 years too late to have caught people like your wife" ... perhaps he's too much of a gentleman
Give it time. I think there’ll be some serious **** they’re sitting on for the final couple of weeks. No one will give a **** positively or negatively about last night in a month.
I thought Starmer looked a bit bemused at the £2,000 increased tax bill per family claim by Sunak ... that's because it's largely concocted bollocks - see BBC fact check this morning
“Repeat the lie often enough, and it becomes the truth.” - Joseph Goebbels. Starmer didn’t expect to get Goebbeled.
