Keir Starmer's deceit and lies are nothing new, but who knew he was saving the biggest whoppers for the General Election campaign?
Right, so if Labour had a plant working at Tory HQ, they should run for party leader next, given they’re clearly competent at something, because Sunak’s manifesto launch has tanked from the get-go. Before you even consider what it contained, deciding to launch it at Silverstone race course invited the prospect of another self inflicted car crash and with Brad Pitt apparently filming nearby, Sunak kept putting movie references in everywhere he could, ‘the one thing about tax rises is you don’t talk about tax rises’ possibly not the winning soundbite he thinks it is.
But following the launch, Keir Starmer was asked for his view, not that he was ever going to praise it, but what he actually said has got people absolutely raging across social media, will almost certainly lose him more votes and actually had nothing to do with Sunak at all.
Right, so Rishi Sunak’s election manifesto launch absolutely bombed and the fact the manifesto logo, reading ‘clear plan, bold action, secure future’ looked like three missiles taking to the air didn’t help alleviate that imagery either.
There is no bold plan, just more cuts and being levied most heavily on the backs of the disabled, welfare set to take an absolute hammering so he can pay for the tax cuts he’s been forced to shoehorn in, desperate for a positive line. 2 pence off National Insurance, tax breaks for the Tory base of pensioners and garbage about seizing the benefits of Brexit, when there have been none, it’s been a total cack-handed disaster that has driven the cost of living upwards far more than any other factor we’ve faced in the last several years, which have included and energy crisis driven by privatisation more than Putin, and a literal pandemic.
The attack on welfare to pay for this bothers me more than anything else and not just because I’m an unpaid carer and know a thing or two about social security and living on it, but because for all of Sunak’s projection about securing the future, this doesn’t do that.
You might sneer at social security, you might be taken in by arguments of a something for nothing culture, or you might sympathise and see through that rhetoric, but any of us could fall seriously ill in our lifetimes, any of us could be in an accident leaving us with life changing injuries and you hope in a properly civilised society, that safety net is there for you. A secure future is therefore when you look at it this way, absolutely not what Sunak is proposing here, its been a last minute rush job to cobble together something, anything to try and save him from overseeing what is potentially an extinction level event for the Tories and this frankly isn’t it.
We know they are done, we know they are finished and when it was put to Keir Starmer to comment on this, he did of course relish the opportunity, but might have done so, a little too much and in line with that viewpoint, have a watch of this little montage I’ve put together and see how Starmer might have just gone too far in his gloating and actually done himself no favours, when he was gifted this open goal by Sunak:

►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 / 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, to the voiceless.
