“Delivery, delivery, delivery”. That’s what the prime minister promised as he announced yet another government reboot, insisted he would get all asylum hotels closed “as quickly as possible” and was filmed with the ubiquitous union flag in the background. (“Look, I’m the leader of the Labour party who put the union jack on our Labour party membership cards,” he boasted.)
Let’s quote Keir Starmer’s deliverance speech in context: “We are now into phase two of the government, which is where we focus on delivery, delivery, delivery and start to show what a difference a Labour government really makes.” Which, of course, can be happily soundbited as “delivery, delivery, delivery”. That’s the thinking, anyway.
