“Honesty on economy” means that they admitted that they had “no choice” but to economically spank the country. Luckily, Britain’s really into that.
Britain is really into that
4% of population voted for that, citizens are never really in favour of austerity policy. It’s a consequence of the dictatorship of capital, not something stemming from popular support.
British are really into economic sadomasochism.
Elected parties don’t have popular support, they never have. So don’t blame the ol’ population for that.
I think “honesty on the economy” references them getting i to office and then find “oh my, we’ve crunched the numbers and found out there’s no money left on the national credit card so now there goes all our campaign promises that would actually help people”. A subset of liberals loves this kind of “tough decisions adults in the room”-act.
Never mind that they had over a decade to come up with economic plans as a shadow cabinet, history began after election day after all.
This is 100% it.

They probably polled some bougie socdem chucklefucks who thought Herr Starmer did a good job of debunking the uppity poors who bought the Russian dezinformatziya that the economy was anything other than amazing
“It’s a recession, innit?”
Well, when Corbyn was leader, the record vote counts did show a massive support of left-wing policies, even in the face of mass media disapproval. Can I technically say “Labour did that”?
Only thing i can think of is give rishi and tories high blood pressure on those polls in election. Other than that…
I doubt their blood pressure was that high, with billions of public funds openly embezzled, they can sit back on those funds for a while and let Labour have their own embezzling turn.
I felt like they just weren’t even pretending to try this year, they deliberately called an early election, in the knowledge they were very unlikely to win. I wonder if they just sort of realised being in power too long might start looking silly.
