Feels like @Keir_Starmer getting excuses in early if Hartlepool goes Tory:
"I don’t think anyone realistically thought it would be possible to turn Labour round from worst general election result since 1935 to a position to win the next gen elxn within a period of one year"
"I don’t think anyone realistically thought it would be possible to turn Labour round from worst general election result since 1935 to a position to win the next gen elxn within a period of one year"
He's been saying this a lot of course in recent weeks.
But citing Biden, he starts to sketch out 2024 vision: long-termism on economy; preventive health + linking public services like crime + housing; skills + education; more devolution; culture change to unity rather than division
Still, when Starmer said the word 'fifthly' on @BBCr4today, it reminded me of that Tony Blair anecdote where he recalled one activist delivering a dull speech defined by the phrase 'and fifteenthly..'
Tho @JohnRentoul prob remembers the anecdote better than most. It may have been 'fourthteenthly'...!
