You can imagine the kind of messaging in labour HQ this morning.
“Look everyone, We’ve got them on the ropes, biggest poll lead in yougov history, big policy announcement from Kier today, so everyone just stay on message and don’t do anything stupid to take the focus off how badly Truss and Kwarteng have misjudged this budget.”
6 hours later …
Fucking classic divided labour move. Start a race row that casts the most unpopular man in the country in a sympathetic light and steal headlines from the leaders massive policy announcement.
