Petrified fucking terror. That’s the first thing you think when you look at Labour. A barely-concealed, buttoned-up, can’t-sleep-at-night anxiety, lurking just behind the eyes. They’re scared they’ll fluff it. They’re scared that in the white heat of the election campaign, the Tories will find some policy in their manifesto to weaponise against them and the whole thing will come crashing down.
There’s literally no way to know what a Labour government will be like. All we know about Starmer is that he’s prepared to lie and say whatever he thinks he needs to say to get power.
Was he lying to the left to get selected? Or is he lying to the right now to get elected?
🤷
Even to whatever extent they have described any policies at all, they’re probably just lies.
Still. The mystery prize will indeed be better than yet more crazed Tories. I suspect just not all that different.
You can easily guess what a labour government would be like by looking at what starmer has done so far, what he has said so far and who he has explicitly taken inspiration from.
I’ll save you some googling: he’s a Tory with a labour scarf on. More Tory than most Tories.
Not hard to extrapolate from there.
