It’s not just mud slinging though. It’s an appointed member of Starmers team involved in a potential embezzlement scandal.
Since they have been in power they have also had an MP punching somebody in the street and Haigh having to resign for previous misdemeanours. Exactly the types of things we were calling the Tory’s out for previously.
As for the rest of the stuff you wrote, I’m not in disagreement with any of that.
The WFA was the most tempestuous decision out of all so far as the PR from it was never going to be positive. Possibly the worst PR decision I’ve seen since Moshiri hired Pigman.
But let’s not be two faced and try to sugar coat scandals we’d lambast Tory’s for.
And yet I think if you asked the general public, they will have completely forgotten. But he was suspended and had the whip removed.
As for Haigh, I thought she was doing a good job, but resigned for something which happened in 2014. But, Starmer asked her to resign because it would likely compromise her position as a minister. It prevented a bigger issue further down the line.
It is exactly the opposite way the previous Tory goverment(s) would've handled it. They'd have deflected, dismissed, trivialised and doubled down.
The two things aren't comparable.
