The Prime Minister said today at Prime Minister's Questions that Chancellor Rachel Reeves will be here for 'many, many years to come'. Kemi Badenoch accused her of not being qualified to manage Britain's finances.
Ministers have apparently been warned by the Equality and Human Rights Commission that proposed legislation to protect workers from harassment by their customers could lead to a prohibition on the debate of contentious issues in public. ‘Pubs could ban patrons from debating transgender rights' reported one headline.
There is increasing speculation the Tories – either under Kemi Badenoch or a successor – will opt to lurch decisively to the Right to counter this insurgency. All of which are perfectly fine. But they will each be doomed to failure if Sir Keir doesn’t recognise something else. To defeat populism he has to start to learn – and then speak – the language of ordinary working people.
Indeed, there are times when it appears he’s going out of his way to deliberately insult them. Look at last week’s intervention on the rape gangs, when he implied – actually, he didn’t imply but came straight out and said it – that anyone who thought there should be a national inquiry into the abuse was promoting a ‘far-Right’ agenda.
On Monday the nation woke up to the news the financial markets were in turmoil, taxes may have to be hiked even further, spending on public services will probably have to be slashed and interest rates are set to remain eye-wateringly high. You can just imagine the conversation down the Dog & Duck - assuming people are still allowed to engage in one.‘Yes. Terrible. But at least we’re getting an AI Growth Zone’.
