Clive Lewis talking about Starmer today…
“Look, we have an interim Prime Minister at the moment and how long that interim is will be up to the parliamentary Labour Party… he will not be here for very long, he does not deserve to be here much longer… at the moment, if he went tomorrow, the only person I could see benefitting would be the Secretary of State for Health, Wes Streeting, and frankly that would be more of the same. He’s an acolyte of Peter Mandelson, there is no point electing Wes Streeting as our leader, if that were to take place, because it would be more of the same. We need a radical reset, a fundamental change, or we will have a Reform government….
What I think has enabled this to happen is the fact that we have systemically burned our base. We’ve chased after mythical voters, who have no interest in voting Labour. We have alienated a vast swathe of that constituency on issues from Gaza through to immigration and asylum… the whole tone of this government is one that many, many, people, and I heard it on the doorstep ‘your not the Labour Party that I recognise, what happened to you?’…
Look, the Labour Party changes, the Labour Party adapts, but it has a core philosophy, which is you want to improve peoples lives, and you want to have a politics which is inclusive… it doesn’t make a difference if your banners say that, your actual actions, your policies, your behaviour and how you come across to the public is what’s important, and frankly, under Kier Starmer, and the people around him, we have come across sounding like a pound shop Reform”
