The Spin
Left narrative
Sunak and the Tories' continued inaction against party racism is shocking. Despite making a speech outside of Downing Street only weeks ago calling for an end to hate, the PM and his government remain reluctant to fight evident discrimination and prejudice. It is evident that Sunak has lost all grip of his party, lacking both the power and the backbone to stand up against the disgraceful comments of a prominent Tory donor.
Right narrative
Starmer continues to preach moral righteousness despite, as Sunak exposed during PMQs, the plethora of condemnable comments made by himself and his party in recent history. There is no doubt that Labour will continue to pounce on the mistakes made by real individuals for political gain, with the human inclination to forgive lacking from the opposition benches.
