Starmer's economic idiocy exposed by Victoria Derbyshire

Starmer's economic plan for the counry seems to consist of magical growth and Victoria Derbyshire wasn't amused.
Right, so as Labour Conference has kicked off, for once the focus is on Keir Starmer and if he’d hoped for a puff piece interview with Laura Kuenssberg this morning, ending up face to face with Victoria Derbyshire must have seen the blood drain from his face. Derbyshire didn’t disappoint either, not that she had to try particularly hard to have him flapping harder than a line caught flounder. Keir Starmer is determined his Labour government will see the economy grow despite putting no public money in to make it grow, yet when asked the very relevant question what if it doesn’t? He just fell to bits. This guy doesn’t know what he is doing, needs his hand held at all times and when that support isn’t there, he’s like a rabbit caught in headlights and his cluelessness is rapidly exposed.
Right so, Labour Conference has begun and as you can imagine for a Starmeroid critic like myself, I’m a socialist, so of course I am, because he’s a red Tory, there’s no shortage of things I could talk about, but being a Sunday morning as this is, the media rounds being done at Conference, Starmer was on the Laura Kuenssberg show this morning though unfortunately for him, he wasn’t facing Kuenssberg, but got Victoria Derbyshire instead, good stuff, he might get asked something relevant for a change. Well Derbyshire chose to question his economics, not his forte, he relies heavily on Rachel Reeves in moments like this and given his responses it wasn’t hard to see why that is. Derbyshire put to him: ‘You’ve pledged that you’re not going to borrow for day to day spending in the NHS and on schools, social care, other public services, because as you’ve just said this morning, a number of times, the way to fund public services is through growth. If you don’t get that growth, that means there will be no money, or extra money for public services. Correct?’ It’s a fairly standard sort of a question isn’t it? It’s OK to want to do things a certain way, but what if your ideas don’t work? What will you do differently? What is Plan B? Well Starmer clearly doesn’t have one given his response. He said: ‘I’m confident we can get the growth, that’s why. We have worked through a plan that tells you how we can get the growth, the people we need, the skills that we need, we’ve set out a policy on skills just this morning to get the skills in the right area, the partnership with business, this is crucial, this will not be state control, it won’t be pure free markets, it will be a partnership with business. What businesses say to me is that they need stability, they need that platform, there are plenty of investors who are absolutely clear in their discussions with me and they say we will invest in the UK if the circumstances are right...

►ABOUT ME:
Hi, I'm Damien Willey. I'm a former welder, but now I'm a writer, blogger, vlogger and presenter and interviewer with Socialist Telly (Please do go and visit what we all get up to on https://www.youtube.com/c/SocialistTelly)
I'm an unpaid carer for my disabled wife and daughter and as such we know all too well the difficulties that associated with that living in Tory Britain and I personally believe the answer lies in socialism.
This channel, along with my other social media act as outlets to push back against that, to demand better of our politicians and leaders, to pull apart the media spin that supports them and the way the UK is run and to give a voice, loud as mine is, to the voiceless.
