Starmer promises change but does he have substance? (Image: Getty) And so it begins – six tedious weeks of politicians flogging us their fantastical plans about how they’re going to make Britain great again. And we’re all at home thinking: “Why didn’t you come up with all this before an election was called?” But the biggest shocker this week has been Rishi himself. For months we’ve all been screaming for him to find his cojones, to do something big and brave and bold.
To do what the British people want him to and go for broke...
And this week in the pouring rain, he did the bravest, boldest thing he’s ever done and called an election – seven months before he needed to. So, was he just saying: “We’re doomed – let’s just get this over with”? Or has decided to throw everything at this? I have a feeling it’s the latter. And about bloody time! He started by challenging Keir Starmer to six weekly TV debates and, already, the gutless Starmer is running scared, bleating he’ll only do two (remember how Labour squealed when Boris refused to do a debate).
The reason he won’t do more is because he knows his gossamer-thin policies – uncosted and written on the back of a fag packet – will be torn apart in front of millions. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
