It will be interesting how he approaches it if Truss does win. I feel pretty sure he'll defend her against any Labour MP, regardless of how bad she is. He's defended Johnson enough.
Btw you criticise Biden a lot but never did Trump. Why is that?
Fair enough, though it's pretty odd to have chosen them for that single issue when you seem to fundamentally disagree with pretty much everything else they say. I seem to remember you've not been a fan of either Lucas or Bartley.
How does a windfall tax help somebody facing a 200% increase in energy costs?
Vision is obviously a good thing in a leader, in fact it's a prerequisite, especially for a Prime Minister. But that vision has to be practical and in the country's benefit. So what was Johnsin's big vision, other than getting power and privilege for himself? Any of the small scale impractical visionary things like the bridge between Scotland and Ireland or the Garden Bridge were disastrous wastes of money. Basically he had no grand vision at all, and that was part of the problem.
There is little vision left in politicians anymore, because that requires thinking beyond yourself and the immediate and about the next generation. Cost of living, climate emergency - pretty much all of them have nothing to offer us.
Ha, ha Greendull once voted to stop fox hunting and save the lickle lambs.
Shame nobody told the current lot that.

Not sure what Prescott is trying to prove with this, Labour didn’t get into power for 11 years after that picture ?! ie it didn’t help with public support
Whether people agree with his stance or not, it’s obvious that Starmers trying to take an impartial position as probably half of the country are against the strikes and a governments job is to try to represent the country as a whole. He’s trying to demonstrate Labour would do this if in government
A shadow transport minister re-enforces that impartiality by going on the picket line…out of all the roles in shadow government you’d want to remain impartial on the subject
I’m no great fan of Starmer but with the Tories imploding, this is what he gets from his own side ?! It’s bizarre. There’s often talk about the Tories being some kind of election winning machine…almost laughable (seen the state of half of them ??)…maybe it’s more the case of Labour/left being election losing machine ? It’s currently an open goal and yet they have manage to manufacture some unnecessary infighting when their focus should be on the mess the Tories are in
A windfall tax or a VAT reduction is a drop on the ocean comparatively yet your man makes more noise about NOT renationalising this sector than any of these.
your more of a flying standard type?
Keir Starmer sacks Angela Rayner’s shadow minister boyfriend for joining rail strike picket line
Sam Tarry joined striking RMT workers at Euston Station, just weeks after the Labour leader banned frontbenchers from taking part
Did it fuck - Brexit was the only policy in town in 2019.
That's the thing though - I don't think it was genuine. It was a slogan that would sell well. When you hear some of the people that know Johnson privately it'd come as no surprise to find out he doesn't want to level things up. He looks upon the working class with contempt.
