Bercow says the Tories have become “reactionary, populist, nationalistic and sometimes even xenophobic”, and that "people are sick of lies, sick of empty slogans, sick of a failure to deliver.’’
This is what Starmer should be saying - the plain truth about the Tories.

I like Starmer, he's decent and intelligent, but he is a hopeless leader, like a rabbit frozen in the headlights. He should be rallying Labour support on all sides of the party through an all-out attack on the Tories - and there is so much to attack.
Starmer acts like he's in a courtroom. He's very good at it. But politics isn't like that. It's about the relentless repetition of simple emotionally charged messages, and Starmer is far too polite and reasonable for that.
Labour has been reasonable and cooperative during covid. And its reward is a brutal kicking. It's time to realise that the Tories and their press chums act as fascists who will always treat reasonableness as weakness.
