Labour’s Rachel Reeves was asked a simple question—yes or no—and somehow we ended up in a 3-minute monologue about “complexity,” “frameworks,” and “economic stability.” 🌀 At this point, you could ask her if the sky is blue and she’d respond with a 12-slide PowerPoint on cloud classification and carbon emissions.
🗣️ “Just Say YES or NO, Rachael” – A National Plea
It’s the political equivalent of asking a mate if they want a cup of tea and getting back:
“Well, I believe in the beverage infrastructure of this nation, but one must first consult the mug-to-teabag ratio under current inflationary pressures…”
No, Rachael. We didn’t ask for a TED Talk.
We asked for an answer.
This chronic inability to commit to “yes” or “no” isn’t strategy—it’s verbal dodgeball in a Westminster blazer. Are they afraid of the backlash? Of holding a position for longer than 30 seconds? Or is it just that politicians have now been so thoroughly trained in spin, they’d rather drown in their own waffle than risk accountability?
And it’s not just Reeves. This is a cross-party plague, infecting everything from tax policy to whether cheese sandwiches still count as lunch.
So, here’s a yes/no question for you, Rachael:
Do you think voters can’t see through this nonsense?
(Just kidding, we already know the answer. It’s a 600-word evasive essay.)
🤬 Challenges 🤬
