Starmer demonstrates the danger of turning left
Keir Starmer deserves some credit for pitching up at an HGV driver training centre in Oldham on Tuesday. After all Johnson is on holiday while the Labour leader is at least focusing on an issue of central importance.
That said and taking into account that Starmer is hardly my flavour of Labour leader (tbh they rarely are, I even had issues with Jeremy Corbyn, though not the beard) but I want a Labour Government ASAP, it must be asked why is a comedy video of the occasion appearing on the front page of the BBC website(link below)? Is Starmer in fact planning to star in a new series of the Thick of It?
Neil Kinnock falling over on a beach was unfortunate but it was not meant to be a stunt. It was an accident.
On this occasion Starmer is in the cab of an HGV but due to an inability to turn the truck left he crashes into some bollards. The instructor tells him he has failed the test.
Circumstantial evidence suggests driving is not Starmer’s strong point (an unfortunate incident in Kentish Town involving a cyclist..) and this whole episode makes him look not like a future PM but simply inept. I think that is an issue.
