      I really hope he does, but given that his campaign has been largely based on gestures and gimmicks it feels difficult to believe.

    2. I’d like to think so.

      However, my local labour councillor has clearly been shipped in from London to try and win my locality and since he managed to make both incorrect assumptions about me and offend/talk down to me I am not so far impressed.

      And as a gesture of his honesty he will kiss a baby and remind us his dad was a tool maker.

    4. my guy was out just yesterday talking about packing trans people into the magical totally real side rooms that every hospital apparently just forgot they have. the fuck is that if it’s not a gimmick or gesture?

    5. No gestures, no gimmicks, no meaningful policies.

      More taxes, more immigration, more legislation.

      Should be a flip flop salesman… Voting this general election just feels so flat.

      ‘We won’t invest in anything but have you heard we’re real angry about dirt bikes?’

      Labour knows that the only way they lose this election is if they give the opposition ammunition.

      Starmer has spent the past few years saying nothing, he’s not about to change a winning strategy now
