I mean, who amongst us hasn't exploited their position to win a £121 million contract to supply dodgy PPE during a deadly pandemic which turned out to be no better than poundland bin bags?

Today's speech was easily the best Starmer has given.
For the first time since the election, he told a compelling - & optimistic - story about what the government is trying to do; charged that story with moral purpose; & drew clear battle lines with the Right.

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.
