Any other politician throughout modern political history would have their disappointed voters start something like this with “I voted for you but…”

I know I’m not saying what hasn’t been said a million times by now but it’s just so fucking weird.

The president isn’t your child. You don’t need to show them unconditional love. You’re allowed to criticise them without prefacing that you still love them.

Starmer is terrified of Reform. So he’s taken the really smart stance of pulling Labour to the right to court a demographic that would never vote Labour anyway, and in the meantime utterly piss off his core base.

Sounds like something a tax dodger would say…
