Basically he knocked on her door, she said she was undecided and sort of middle on the road on whether or not she’d vote labour, she asked him what labour were going to do to improve her life, he said they’d get some new dentists into Rochester, she said that would probably be good and would help her but asked how they were going to find the money to do it since they said they weren’t increasing taxes or cutting spending elsewhere or anything, and then he started spluttering and said he didn’t know because hed only briefly glanced over the policy points but could refer her to the MP for a phone discussion so she said “l’m sorry but you’re trying to get me to vote for this party and you cannot even answer these simple questions. […] you’re meant to believe in this party, but you come out and can’t even explain your policies” and then says labour have lost her vote.
He goes back to labour HQ to talk about how beat down it made him feel and his board runner tells him she was probably a green party / lib dem psy op meant to syphon off his belief in starmerite-blairism or something despite them having no evidence of her being a vocal supporter of any of the other parties. twitter person then has an existential crisis about how Starmer isn’t offering any inspiring policies at all.
not to sound like a chud but what kind of hugbox-hamster-ball ass life do you have to live where this is the first one anyone ever asked you a follow up questions about the party you stan for. Like even assuming all other social contacts you’d discuss politics with are also labour party people, are they that lockstep?
she said that would probably be good and would help her but asked how they were going to find the money to do it since they said they weren’t increasing taxes or cutting spending elsewhere or anything
He could easily just have said that they are supposedly planning to increase revenue by funding HMRC better, removing loopholes the wealthy use to avoid tax, and adding VAT to things like private schools to the total value of a few billion more a year.
It’s a fairly prominent part of their short manifesto and general campaign, and the idea that this idiot was out campaigning without knowing it makes me think that he probably should feel stupid.

Probably only ever talked about culture war bullshit and never paid attention to policy
Absolute Stacy move
