Starmers father was a tool maker, back then he would have been one of the best paid in the factory, time served apprentice, probably on double the money someone on the shop floor was paid.

Hope that's the last time he uses the 'tool maker' line
Toolmaker, wife in the NHS AND the GB Energy lie. Sublime stuff.
Toolmaker is the perfect description of Starmer’s father.
"Would you personally be happy to pay more tax?"
Yes, just not enough to change government policy to make sure that he'd actually have to do it.

Surprised his Prestadidwicks Congena didn't kick in when talking about kids starving. Maybe that's why he's sat down.
“Roll up our sleeves in a grown up way” is literally something a child would say.
Kier Starmer, 61 and three quarters.
Said whilst his own sleeves are rolled down.
Another broken pledge! Starmer looks like if Mark Goldbridge has gone on a mr kipling angel slices 6 month binge. Have no idea why he thinks trying to be some tough leader is going to work.
He's doing much better with the audience than he did with Rigby at least, but still no directness or specifics rather than soundbites and waffle.
He's actually going to get through the entire election campaign lying about GB Energy being an energy company without anyone bringing it being a lie up.
Sounds like he's a clockwork toy who just keeps going (nowhere).
Will be interesting to see how she handles Rishi
I saw someone say that Sunak is Will from The Inbetweeners and I can’t unsee/unhear
All of a sudden Rigby learns to STFU
I thought that was how everyone saw him.
You’ve got to wonder what Sunak is doing this. He’s going to lose, it’s just public humiliation at this point. He’s got to be masochistic.
She’s interrupting a lot less it seems
Rigby just crediting him with halving inflation, how about asking him to explain how he was responsible for that.
Im on a 30 minute delay. Not shocked by that suggestion. Though. She was somewhat thorough with the Tories during Covid, but she’s middling within Sky with regards to Tory gladhanding.
What’s the difference between what he’s said and what it is to you?
Explain to me like I’m from Mars.
Oh no he's attacking the doctor...
Inflation is less than our competitors - didn't know Argentina was the Uk's competitor
It isn't an energy company. Nor is it an energy generation company. In fact it isn't even a company. He knows for a fact (which is backed up by polls) that people hear that term and think it'll be a company they can switch to, when it categorically isn't.
Exactly.
He said that a significant amount of the high inflation was because the BoE did not act quickly enough.
The BoE has been responsible for reducing inflation by increasing interest rates. But that has been responsible for people having much higher mortgage rates.
Don’t underestimate how thick our nation is, this is going to much closer than what the yougov polls are predicting.
Yeah that’s not his fault mate. He’s explicitly detailed what it is. It’s written down.
It would still be a net good for the British economy. A first step on a path to a better future for how we generate, use, buy and sell our natural resources.
If you expect him to say “GB Energy would be a change of approach and take multiple years to see it change your lives” then I can’t help you.
Do you see it as a bad thing?
That was unbelievable
He’s going to lose, I’m not saying it will be a supermajority, the Tories are not going to win. That’s the only point I am making, so why the feck is he doing this public humiliation tour? It’s painful to watch and I can’t bare him.
He has just said that he believes that Brexit was the right decision for our country....
Yes, an investment vehicle, and categorically NOT an energy company.
Except on appearances like this when it miraculously stops being an investment vehicle and becomes an energy company again. You're being conned and you're lapping it up, no wonder he keeps repeating the lie.
People should like Sunak because he eats lots of sweets.
Oh my god.
Prime Minister, can you tell us something about yourself that will make people like you?
Well I’m actually not that much of a fitness fiend, with my fasting, I eat an enormous amount of sugar!
Who the feck is this guy?

This stamp duty waving is bullshit, yeah it’s helpful but it needs to be capped way below £400K.
I’m a swing voter, I do like Haribo 
I’m really not mate. I work for a company that works close with central government to deliver green renewable solutions. Multi Billion pound projects. I’d be surprised if you have more insight into what GB Energy is than I do. But fair go if you do.
There’s very little money available on Day 1. The relative pittance allocated to GB Energy will return more than it invests. It will (unfortunately) generate more money for Energy CO’s than the existing model.
But, crucially, it will ensure that those profits will do GOOD for the planet, Job market, economy and change the balance.
It’s nothing like what I want. I think in this climate he could go further, faster. But you seem so blinkered in your desire to hate that you view things through the prism of 2019 or sooner. It’s madness and not dealing with reality.
Remember. At no point ever has anyone from Labour said GB Energy is an energyco. They’ve not lied. Even that is a fecking leap forward.
Which out of touch robot will you vote for?
