Just before winning his second term in office, Barack Obama made a plea to American voters not to switch back to the Republicans. “They drove our economy into a ditch and then they got the nerve to ask for the keys back. I don’t want to give them the keys back – they don’t know how to drive”.
Keir Starmer’s Labour will be hoping to be able to make a similar pitch to British voters in four years’ time: warning against returning the keys to the Conservatives while also suggesting that Reform UK would land the country in an equally messy economic predicament.
