Labour Party Chairman Anna Turley is branding the government’s endless capacity for U-turns this morning as “the sign of a confident government.” Yesterday the Treasury capitulated to pressure and will water down business rate hikes for pubs to the tune of £300 million…
Turley’s brand new line, delivered to Sky News, is a corker:
“I don’t buy this as U-turns. This is actually about listening. And I think it’s a sign of a a government that actually in touch with people, that is listening to people and that is responding… I think listening to constituents isn’t being bullied or lobbied. That’s what we’re here to do. We’re here to represent the people that we live amongst. And and if a policy isn’t right, I think it’s a sign of a confident government that says, do you know what? We’ll step in. We’ll sort it out. We’ll make sure it works. We’ve seen governments in the past with real ideological bent that have pushed through changes in with crazy budgets that have been based on their own ideological madness that have hammered people’s mortgages and businesses.”
Challenged on Starmer’s unpopularity in the face of this “confidence,” Turley blamed the Tories:
“We inherited such a horrendous situation. I mean, everyone can look around them in their communities and see what the impact of 14 years of austerity is and their communities.”
Keep it up…
