🚨 With a lust for freebies and hobbled by infighting, Labour look like the Tories 2.0 | John Crace

Politics

The prime minister promised a government a world apart from Rishi Sunak’s, yet the similarities are mountingDuring the last election campaign it was hard to escape the impression that, whatever his other faults, Rishi Sunak just wasn’t very good at politics. The charge sheet included getting drenched announcing the election and leaving D-day veterans on the beaches. And insisting that black was white: that he was stopping the boats, that the economy was in good shape, that the Tories were on course for victory.Just a couple of months later, it very much feels like Keir Starmer and Labour are saying: “Hold my beer.” Keen to prove that they, too, are amateurs at the political PR game.
