Wes Streeting: Labour Attack Ads Justified.

Labour launched an attack ad saying the Prime Minister does not imprison child sex attackers. Many describe this ad as "gutter politics". Some described the ad as desperate. However, Sir Keir defended these ads saying they were justified.

Other ads attacked Akshata Murty the Prime Minister's wife. Referencing her former non-dom status. Labour has an eye on the local elections coming up in May. The Conservatives in their turn have hit back with ads of their own.

Such is the nature of politics in a democracy. All parties who wish to take power will go on the attack to dent or destroy their enemies. So that the triumphant party through the ballot box can gain at the enemy party's expense.

Many in Labour and in the Tories said the ads were wrong and not necessary. However, Shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting has given the ads his full backing.

Mr. Streeting said the ads attacking the Prime Minister and his Wife are correct. Mr. Streeting said it is right to "take the gloves off" and "challenge the Prime Minister".

Mr. Streeting said, "Challenge the Prime Minister over 13 years of abysmal failure". The ads are designed to hold the government to account. It is the job after all of the opposition (whoever the opposition might be) to hold the government to account. 5 failed Prime Ministers and a collection of failed policies. These policies have reduced the UK to the mess it is in today.

The Conservatives are expected to lose a thousand seats at next month's local elections. All talk and no action is the mantra of this government. There is a rotten smell about the Sunak administration, that of something rotting. Something corrupt and rotten to the core. People are fed up with this Conservative government and according to polls want a change. That change will come in the shape of Sir Keir Starmer and Labour.

Jeremy Corbyn was let's face it unelectable. Under Him Labour had some good ideas, however, the right-wing media painted Him out to be some rabid far-left danger. Mr. Corbyn was pro-Palestinian and the same right-wing media made Him out to be some Nazi Anti-Semite. Some allege that under his watch Jews did not feel comfortable in the party. Many left as the environment was not conducive for them. Obviously, there will be truth to this but also many lies to bring down Corbyn. The better-off saw Corbyn as a threat also as he threatened to tax them to the hilt. No doubt had Corbyn won the 2019 general election we would have found out what his administration would have been like. Certainly the relationship with another maverick politician that of Donald Trump would have been interesting. That said it was Corbyn's middle-of-the-road approach to Brexit that largely did for him. Boris won a landslide over his pro-Brexit stance in the 2019 general election and the rest as they say is history.

At the local elections next month voters must now bring photographic identification. You can take your passport, a driving licence, or upload a photo of yourself to a government website and be issued with a pass to vote. With the amount of fraud these days it is understandable why the government has done this. On the other hand, some see a conspiracy behind it.

Those in the public eye including politicians are judged on their background and what they say or do. Sir Keir and Sunak will be fully aware of this. Their PR Machines will be going into overdrive as the local elections draw near. And in the general election of next year, things could get even dirtier as Sunak ad Starmer battle to be Prime Minister.
