BEATS OF LOVE

149. Blush by Wilson Tanner


NOT AT all sure what Starmer's modus operandi is. 


The depth of anger disabled people feel is now entirely clear to me. For a decade, our labour MP stood by us as we navigated tory hostility. We anticipated social justice to heal years of harshness. Yet, Yvette Cooper has introduced new punitive policies. Rather than a softer approach, we have simply been handed the same bitter cup.


Off the hoof Blairisms without the charm offensive. Mentally we go, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, after two minutes of his News 24 cabinet clones speaking to the media. One week they're paraphrasing the Clegg/Cameron alliance by falsely insisting the economy runs like a domestic household, the next, the harsher tones of the insidious Farage by cutting foreign aid. Sadly, when labour comes to power, accepting the wrongheaded notion that politics has distended into a state of emergency, they adopt tories statute.

Without rhyme or reason and in next to no time at all, they've become the very people they vociferously opposed but still wooing no bigots and racists, and that is terminal. The NHS will have to be totally world-beating to win back voters. Voters who disliked tory U-turning dislike labour hypocrisy more. What could be more hypocritical than pledging 28 billion for green initiatives one month and abandoning net zero targets the next? I know, campaigning with Waspi women one month, then abandoning them the next.


Starmer's modus operandi is to make an absolute mockery of us by tinkering with the austerity designs of his predecessors instead of even attempting to win an argument.
