It’s almost like Starmer and his advisers have a list of people that they want to piss off in every interview: remainers, the unions and his own party membership for a start. All of the evidence is that the more ‘the public get to know him’ the more cold they are towards his bland technocrat centralism. This thread is marginally more interesting than the interview itself:

Yes back into character.
I didn't understand this bit:
He's saying that we'd have needed laws to prevent abuse only if Labour was in power?? I can't work out whether it's him, or me, or just a mistake in the original which I thought was sloppily written when I first saw it. Otherwise "weaselly" comes to mind.

"Family has always been incredibly important to me..........and it means everything to me now that I have a loving family of my own."
If the rumour I've heard about Starmer from a (trustworthy - but i guess rumour spreading) person who is a regular member at Starmer's CLP, the "family man" angle might be one that comes back to bite him a la John Major and his Back to Basics family shtick.

frankly,
i don't think he's actually said anything of substance (which doesn't come as a huge surprise) and i would be very happy to be proved wrong, but usually when politicians start talking about 'families' or 'family values' it's usually dog-whistle for homophobia and blaming single mothers for just about everything...

Tried clicking on it and got something totally different.
You sure it wasn’t one of those spoof stories they use as a placeholder and occasionally accidentally put on the live site?
Might be just my phone being weird...

Was this in the same talk as when he said Johnson’s indecision was costing lives?

Am expecting a cover up, so this is confirmation bias to me, lets see what little happens

It was one of the combination news stories they do - several under one headline. I wondered whether it would change so I made sure I quoted it. Did seem out of character, one of Corbyn's policies while pretending it wasn't.
Funny - I can't see it when I search for the quote under the Guardian - here's a more respected source for the story though:
Starmer: Use NHS creation as inspiration for post-pandemic recovery
The Labour leader will use a speech on Monday to accuse Boris Johnson of having the ‘wrong priorities for Britain’.
