  • Excellent interview with Starmzy on Radio Four Today this morning, at about 8am. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000vp2v

    He's repeating that line about how austerity / going back to normal is both morally bankrupt AND economically stupid. I think it's really strong and I hope it gives him the ability to push back on all those 'Labour will bankrupt the economy' takes without discarding the strong ethical message.

  • When you say excellent interview, do you mean the Today programme did an excellent job of skewering him by saying Labour opposed the lady who got all the vaccines and if it was down to them we'd still be in Europe and have a crap vaccine pipeline? Cos that's what I heard.

    I wanted him to do well but that was really not great.

  • I think his response on those two were his weakest and on the taskforce at least he should've been stronger - the taskforce isn't just Bingham and opposing Bingham doesn't mean you oppose a taskforce-led rollout - but no, I didn't hear a skewering. They were two relatively familiar areas of attack, and the second one at least was fair criticism.
