This isn’t going to turn the election so it doesn’t really count. Actually none of what Sunak is promising will actually make a difference to the election. The only way Starmer is going to lose is if he endorses rejoining the European Union and if there’s one policy he’s actually been clear on it’s not rejoining.
Jaysus Sunak when are we going to hear something actually exciting or original from you? Where’s your industrial strategy? Probably never which is why he’ll lose.
Oh don’t get me wrong this isn’t a dig at Labour. This is politics in general. The same shit is happening with the US elections. It’s just an election about personality and nothing else over there. Perhaps parties could spend more time on the boring stuff rather than memes which inherently don’t paint the full picture and simplify often complex subjects into the visual equivalent of sound bites.
I don’t think any major party has a full manifesto published yet.
And this is totally shit and unacceptable. They knew an election would happen this year. Why haven’t they got manifestos ready to go on day one? In a draft where they can update it quickly after it was called. We’ve got a little over a month to digest it and scrutinise and challenge it. I actually know why they haven’t. Because neither party wants to be challenged on the substance of their policies. You can hear it when interviewed on the radio or telly. They just delay and delay their answers and ultimately don’t say anything.
I know memes have become, well, memes these days but it says a lot that in a major general election voters are being courted on the strength of either party’s memes.
I mean, forget policy or manifestos or explaining tough choices to the electorate: as long as it make makes ya giggle, eh? Jaysus our politics is dire.

I’m kinda hopeful that this isn’t Sunak’s Gordon She’s A Bigoted Woman Brown moment because I want to see something more embarrassing to him during the election than this.
Isn’t this the same guy which shouted “UP THE 'RAAA” on video?
Up the 'RA? As in: Up the Irish Republican Army? The IRA? Farage? Nigel Farage? The architect of Brexit? The man that hates immigrants so much he regularly uses them as bait in his culture wars? Is a secret IRA man?
