The comms on this have been an absolute nightmare and that's honestly more worrying to me than whether it's £28 billion or £18 billion, or an aspiration, or a ceiling, or whatever.
Get it together! You're meant to be a government-in-waiting!
Labour really need to give some clarity. I get they want to keep their cards close until nearer the election, but the messaging so far seems frustratingly wishy washy. A political narrative still needs a sound foundation to build on.
I have the same view I always have. The comms are bad. This has been the case for a century, bar the era known as the Mandelson Hegemony and the still briefer era known to historians as Mandelson Redux.
Ah yes Cash for Honours Mandelson. What a decent, upstanding fellow. You strike me as a Champaign Socialist Frank. A man who's never sene true hardship.
To you "crushing orphans" is just words on a screen. To me it's loved ones dying. You need to feel true misery to understand my heart and the hearts of real left wingers like me.
