  1. This is a misreading of how it is being seen. Labour is right in the arguments but Starmer is not concise enough and Sunak always finishes his answer with a strong point to round off his counter argument. I do not agree with what he says but this is what will resonate in the headlines of the right wing echo chamber ( most of the media) and sink in with millions of voters who will not think for themselves. I bet a lot of lawyers watch Starmer and wonder why he is so ineffective in Parliament.

  2.  @notch7139  On the contrary. Starmer is not an effective Labour leader- there is a broad consensus around this except among the Blairite right whose confirmatory bias that they have all the answers never wavers. He is the wrong leader for Labour and will be a disastrous Prime Minister if he wins the election. That too is now in question- Labour may lose to the Tories, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

  3.  @paul8161  Perhaps you did not read my comment properly or understand it. I do not agree with the content of what Sunak is saying but he is making points in a way that will advance the bogus arguments the Tories want people to believe. It is not a complicated point- it is about how the Tories frame the arguments in order to outdo Labour on perception.

  4.  @tisFrancesfault  Labour is a neoliberal party under Starmer and was under Blair and Brown- it accepted the Thatcherite settlement. Neoliberalism is the root cause of every problem facing Britain and the world, including climate change. A Labour party committed to its maintenance serves no purpose regardless of where it receives its votes from. Most voters who switched to Labour in 1997 identified with Tory policies then at a time when they were to the left of where the current iteration of the Conservative Party sits. There is no point replacing the Tories with a slightly paler version in the form of a Starmer led Labour Party. Until or unless the ruling class and public rejects neoliberalism there is no future for Britain. I am not holding my breath.
