And the Prime Minister has rightly apologised for that.”But also to all of us because he was representing all of us.”She added: “I think what happened was very wrong. I think the Prime Minister has apologised for that. But what I also think is important is we honour their legacy.”Speaking to Anne Diamond and Stephen Dixon, Alex Petropoulos suggested Labour’s plans might be more ambitious than what is openly said.Diamond asked: “Is everything being handed on a plate at the moment to Labour?”They’re playing it very carefully. You can tell, even though, I mean Angela Rayner did get quite excited from time to time, but they’re playing it very, very carefully, whereas the Tories just seem to be missing everything up, don’t they Alex?”Petropoulos replied: “I think Labour are definitely playing it carefully. I think that they’re almost being restricted and they’re restricting themselves in the sense that they want to have sort of drawn this battle line with the Tories. But I think that in reality, their plans might be more ambitious than they say they are.”Their plans might be slightly different from what they say now, but they feel the need that they can’t actually share the full extent or be honest with the British public about, you know, the fact that public finances are kind of in the muck right now and, and aren’t able and won’t be able to get better for a couple of years.”I think that there like more serious debates to be having. And there was this criticism thrown from lots of the smaller parties that the Tories and that Labour were in this coalition of silence that were not being honest with the British public.”WATCH THE FULL CLIP ABOVE GB News Read More
