Yep! I briefly watched that poor performance Matt and wondered why the sudden change in serious scrutiny of a Brit govt strategy and damaging policies that deserve to be criticised in the proper way.

Makes you wonder if his tactic is to reel them in and then hit them when they least expect it.

I really hope he isn't trying to turn Labour into the Tory B team.

The next election will be fought over which party leadership commands the most trust as the country navigates the pandemic’s aftermath, whatever that turns out to be.

When you take it in that context, Starmer’s performance yesterday was sound. He's positioning labour as being supportive in a time of national crisis but highlighting the things the governments getting wrong. That strikes me as the smart thing to be doing currently.
