Nobody every reveals anything, yet every journalist acts as if this is some new affront, a shocking disdain for transparency, never before has any politician withheld so much from so many.<br /><br />Aside from that, if she affected a lisp, Long-Bailey's mewling would be indistinguishable from that of Lisa Nandy. Is it some requirement that the younger female Labour front benchers need to have the exact same voice timbre and accent?<br /><br />I expected to have more to say, but I'm finding it impossible to focus after hearing Long-Bailey state that a Labour Government would ensure that the debt they inherit from the Tories will be less when the next term ends than it is now. Is she insane? I'm shaking my head as I type this, seriously unable to listen to the rest of it. I don't think Andrew Neil's brain was able to register what she said, and just moved on as if it hadn't happened. <br /><br />David Preiser (USA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00055001852090086556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-9567718356603510582017-05-14T23:23:15.062+01:002017-05-14T23:23:15.062+01:00Is there a single Labour Shadow type that is not c...Is there a single Labour Shadow type that is not certifiably, wafflingly, in clear terms, bonkers?<br /><br />I guess that question will be answered on Tuesday? Or not?Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550976834509947355noreply@blogger.com
