Martin Lewis hits out at Tories for ‘weaponising’ him against Labour
Martin Lewis has hit out at the Conservatives for using video footage of him to make one last desperate plea to voters.
The TV personality and campaigner accused the Tories of “misdirection” by using a short clip of him discussing Labour’s manifesto in its campaign material.
Not only the weather being weaponised, but unprecedented tsunamic of weaponising seems to have become fashionable in the public arena. The very concept of weaponising is being weaponised.
Sunak and Starmer are even attempting to weaponise mendacity. Starmer seems likely to weaponise it more effectively though.

I had a personal epiphany today.
Having heard people say that they would vote for a frail Biden because they hated Trump, or were going to vote Labour because they hated Rees-Mogg, or wouldn't vote Reform because they hated Farage, I realise that people would vote on personalities rather than manifestos or previous track records.
Now that is weaponising the media view of 'personalities'. When did we decide that politics was a beauty pageant rather than how well a job was done? No wonder we have poor governments nowadays.
DJ - I had a personal epiphany too, I found I'm genuinely uninterested in the result of the election. Yes, the media view of 'personalities' has been weaponised, it comes across quite clearly in numerous online comments. I believe the turnout was low, which is no surprise.
