Greg Hands delivered the appropriately named winding-up speech to Labour’s opposition motion, in which he absolutely slammed them for playing “student politics”, and focussing on procedural trickery rather than policy amending. Among the best quotes were:

• “Labour doesn’t have a plan, they have a four-page motion. A four-page motion is not a plan”
• “This is a student union tactic which they well-rehearsed during the Brexit years”
• “With the departure for the member of Islington North as leader of the Labour Party I thought it might have a return to serious opposition politics”
• “They have completely lost the plot into their own world of procedural gobbledygook”

Hands’ recanting of Labour’s day-by-day comms strategy was almost Hague-esque…
