I said they are peering into the hole - not in it....yet!!! 😉
I think they know what they want to do but they also know how difficult it is going to be to do it and they knew it before the election but, clearly, could not verbalise the challenge ahead. They lent in way too much on the "we're not that lot and that lot are awful". They used the 24 hour news and social cycle to keep driving home that message - they got social media cheerleaders to ram home the point for them and call out the evil of Tory behaviour and drown out any semblance of rational election debate. Labour got into power and then started behaving exactly how the Tories had been and suddenly those very tactics are now being played back to them and now they are being drowned out.
I am not convinced Labour have enough talent on the front benches in this particular cabinet to turn this around - I fear they lack the experience and leadership to be able to try and navigate the choppy waters they are facing - some them act like councillors rather than cabinet members. I watch so many media interviews with various cabinet ministers and they look out of their depth and seem utterly clueless on what line they should be pitching - it's car crash interview after car crash interview and the more they keep using the "after 14 years of Tory rule" as an excuse for everything, a bit like the "I am a son of a toolmaker" people will think they are all spin and no substance.
If Reeves had any sense she would have offset her massive tax grab by cutting back on the cash drain that the country faces for things like:-
a) Overseas aid that costs us around £14 billion pa
b) Accommodation costs for economic migrants who claim to be asylum seekers circa £32 billion pa
Because of Reeves oversight she has given the far right a massive boost.
I could add to the list but I will put my tin hat on now to weather the imminent storm of outrage.
Alarm fob plus keys found on Trossachs Road, SE22. For security reasons, I'm not revealing how many or what type of keys on fob, just in case someone decides to walk the local area pressing the fob! 😆
Please pm me.
