Reading the Liaison Committee session with #Starmer and his answers are not just bland, they're reality-denying - "hey, Mr PM, these two things are rather mutually exclusive" "Oh, I don't think they are..."

Well, ummm... this is something...

Starmer: "safe a legal [asylum[ routes are needed"

But, good news, #Starmer does think the first five months have gone swimmingly (except that the Tories were really bad and left a 22bn black hole) and he can't think of anything he could have done better, no improvements with the benefit of hindsight... he's been perfect.
