Keith provided a link for this guy on the Manchester Airport thread, he's interesting in that as a barrister he fully aware of what he can say and often has a real insight into how things are in society as well as the law, Here he is on politics today:

Decent guy has politics that would appeal to many.
Or maybe the reason why Labour are trying to call off the council elections, he knows what damage Reform would do.
Quite like his notion that if political parties keep making clear and ambiguous statements on a particular policy such as the WASPI women and then suddenly change their mind then the WASPI women could have a case in law. That would stop some of the political lies!

It’s one of the many issues with party politics.
A number of individual Labour now MPs came out in support of WASPI but it wasn’t in the manifesto the party was elected on.
Personally in not in support of it so I’m ok with the party decision.

Only a year ago Starmer was stating they would support the Waspi cause and was pictured with flags, placards etc stating it. You can’t support that lack of integrity in any form.
A great believer in taking anything you like to wherever you want to.

I thought he was the right man for leader of labour party, but that soon diminished I didn't and still haven't got ant faith in him whatsoever.

I agree, it’s bad.
But it wasn’t in the manifesto where party takes precedence. Not saying i think it’s ok.
Unfortunately being in opposition means you can promise whatever you like. Look at what Reform are doing.

You are one of a few on here, who seem to have a problem with the older generation, irrespective if it was in the manifesto, all the now Labour front benches were more than happy to back the Waspi Women.
Starmer Reeves and the rest have really plummed the depths since being elected
You give it out, you take it back it`s all part of the game

In the attached video the barrister suggests that clear and much repeated promises could have legal value. If that was the case then that may curtail all the lying and false promises. I guess if you say it enough even though it's not in your manifesto it could constitute a commitment, it would have to be tested in court.

If that’s right I wonder why it’s not been tested before 🤷🏻
