Re: Jamie Driscoll's mayoral candidacy - worth remembering his letter to Starmer Archived Message
Posted by John Monro on July 19, 2023, 11:29 pm, in reply to "Jamie Driscoll's mayoral candidacy appeal going well, over £100,000 raised so far"
He wrote: "You've U-turned on so many promises: £28 billion to tackle the climate emergency, free school meals, ending university tuition fees, reversing NHS privatisation; in fact, a list of broken promises too long to repeat in this letter. "It is not grown-up politics to say Britain is broken, and then claim things are now so difficult we will abandon any plan to fix it. That is mental gymnastics worthy of Olympic gold." Mr Driscoll added: "Worst of all, you've said you're not interested in hope and change. "Well, I am - Britain needs hope and change. Instead of London Labour HQ barring me from running, you could have used my work as a showcase of economic competence." The criticism "It is not grown up politics....." is just brilliant. How can you even start to answer it?
