We can't afford that.
That took, I think, two days for him to U-turn on.
We are literally into Keir Starmer, Mark II in a T-shirt.
I'm not saying that.
It's just no evidence that he has thought about a lot of these issues.
And there are things that, you know, I mean, and obviously he touched on very interesting in his speech this morning that one bit,
A hint of a policy that he touched on was that it was unfair on the people of Makerfield to have migrants being sort of dumped, these mass contracts where Serco turns up and pays double the rent anyone else can pay, therefore they get all the local properties and you get streets of HMOs.
There was a hint, well, that was wrong and it was unfair.
He didn't actually offer a solution to that.
I don't think that, I think he ran a blinder of a campaign, no doubt at all about that.
But the trouble is,
And he's got this long history as a successful mayor, as a cabinet minister.
But he was a cabinet minister under Tony Blair when there was loads of money and he had a very, very astute leader.
And he wasn't held to account personally.
Being a mayor, being a backbench MP, being a cabinet minister are all completely different from being the prime minister.
To govern is to choose.
You have to make choices.
There are a heck of a lot.
of very, very tough choices that are about to be made.
And he said he's going to bring change, but he's also going to stick to the Starmer Manifesto offering change, but we don't know what kind of change that was supposed to be either.
