Starmer-Praising Factory ‘Worker’ Is Deputy Labour Council Leader – Guido Fawkes

Starmer-Praising Factory ‘Worker’ Is Deputy Labour Council Leader

Downing Street has been busy promoting a swish video of Starmer’s speech yesterday at the Jaguar Land Rover plant, including praise-filled testimonial from someone dressed like a local staff member:

“He could have done an announcement from London, in front of the television cameras, he chose to come to Solihull… He’s taking manufacturing seriously, I’m glad he’s come here today, I’m glad they’ve reacted quickly, and I’m really pleased to hear that they’re going to support manufacturing and the car industry. He’s going to have everyone’s back who’s employed in manufacturing in the UK.”

Imagine Guido’s shock on discovering that the anonymous layman is in fact Labour councillor Steve Evans, serving the party in his elected post since 2006 and currently Deputy Leader of the Wolverhampton Labour Group. No time to add that detail to the heavily-edited video?

A classic case of communications skullduggery. Can Downing Street find one actual member of the public who is a fan of Starmer?
