Blotted Out



Starmer's achievements 'blotted out' by political instability, says Harriet Harman

Despite the government turmoil, Baroness Harman says, "the irony is that there are quite a few good things" that have been happening.



Good old Hattie, always ready to say something batty. There seems to be a lot of blotting out going on though, 100 Morrisons convenience shops being blotted out for example.


Morrisons ‘set to close 100 lossmaking convenience shops’


Reports come after supermarket giant launched consultation over job cuts at its Bradford head office

Supermarket giant Morrisons is reportedly planning to shut 100 of its loss-making convenience stores, attributing the decision to mounting cost pressures caused by "government policy".

Headline from the Telegraph:

"Middlesbrough fans sing lewd anti-Starmer song before play-off final"

Stumbler is still Prime Minister so any political instability reflects his grasp of matters.

Harman named things like "good growth and inflation figures", improved NHS waiting lists, "really astonishing figures on the cuts in small boats and in asylum hotels and the drop in legal migration". Political data cherry picking rather than solid achievement I suspect.

dearieme - sounds as if that's what we should have entered for Eurovision.

Anon - yes it's cherry picking, she isn't astonished by any of the immigration figures, the damage has been done anyway.
