but I’ve just listened to Rachel Reeves on The Rest Is Politics and she sounded just like Starmer - said a lot without saying a lot.
Found this in the golf club thread and traced it back.
Listened to this too and was disappointed, she didn’t come across great. Agreed with Stewart, load of sound bites, and didn’t come across as personable at all. His questions around finances were legitimate but she wouldn’t converse and got prickly. Was a bit awkward. Thought that was going to be a better listen

I saw Ed Milliband talk [phone it in from his constituency in Donny for reasons unknown] at the Hay Festival* on the climate with Professor Emeritus Sir Dave King. Ed seemed very committed, knowledgeable and fired up to do the best he can do for climate change, while also being pragmatic. He argued with the crowd at points, including disagreeing with someone who said endless growth wouldn’t work (don’t know where I stand on this) and with an emotional and aggressive just stop oiler about their methods. The only silly thing he said was a reference to just stop oil protesters stopping people seeing dying relatives in hospital, as if that is the only reason anyone drives…
In short I was much more impressed than I expected to be, but I’ve just listened to Rachel Reeves on The Rest Is Politics and she sounded just like Starmer - said a lot without saying a lot.
*is this golf club? maybe tofu wokerati. Excited to find out.
