Keir Starmer appears to think this is a get out of jail free card, on accusations of backtracking on previous promises:
'with the damage that’s been done to the economy, particularly by Liz Truss, it is not possible to do that'!
While he may well be right that things have been made so much worse in the last three years that earlier promises have been undermined.... for many, its a series of shifts that have suggested he wasn't serious in the first place.
pragmatic or hypocritical?
