From watching PMQs yesterday it’s apparent that labour have for years been playing a different game to the Tories, and losing.
Yesterday Starmer rightly pointed out that Johnson had broken a manifesto pledge in relation to armed forces number reductions.
Johnson’s response was the pre-written slogan “we’re pro vax, low tax, and with defence we’ve got your backs”.
Corbyn’s PMQ tactic was the reading of constituents personal letters “I’ve got a letter from Susan here....” and the Tories just laughed their asses off at him.
Johnson is obviously happy to not answer questions, have no regard for the truth, mislead parliament every week, and trot out a new slogan for the front page of tomorrow’s mail, which is going to leave Labour with an uphill battle because they’re playing the wrong game. It’s no good to have a winning poker hand if the game is Gin rummy.
