A well used worn out trope, wheeled out feverishly by Labour and their supporters that don’t really know what actually happened.

Also, a trope not challenged by the Tories at the time, as it suited them so that they could oust Truss and install Sunak, as the pesky membership didn’t vote the correct way.

We will clean up politics, so that by the end of our first term people don’t just feel better off, they can see that politics is working for them, not for Westminster

Absolutely correct, comparing Prime Ministers is completely pointless, but you keep doing it.

Boris isn’t here, calling back to him serves no purpose.

Starmer is PM, and he (and Labour) are not living up to their own hype.
