I agree. I think they are running scared from something that could be tackled by just giving people facts and exposing Farage, Truss, Johnson and the Right Wing media for getting us in to this awful mess. When Zack P from the Greens looks harder than you, you’re in big trouble.

Does this smack more of his fear of a leadership challenge, or worse, an earlier G.E. than planned? It does look a bit panicked, but at least it’s tackling the issue and attempting to neuter Farage. Although for a lot of people there are much more pressing issues. Oh the joys of government.šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
