The 'stop the boats' week organized by the Conservatives collapsed after a Legionnaires disease outbreak on the Bibby Stockholm barge.
Health policy changes and funding for hospitals were recently announced by the government.
Political parties' attempts at focused thematic weeks often encounter challenges and opposition research.
Last week's 'stop the boats' campaign by the Conservatives ended in disaster as health concerns forced migrants off the Bibby Stockholm barge. The government's focus on policy changes and funding for health services is being questioned.
Week of Broken Promises
The Conservatives started strong last week with key policy announcements, only to see each one unravel in the following days. The 'stop the boats' campaign, intended to address immigration issues, came crashing down due to a Legionnaires disease outbreak on the Bibby Stockholm barge. The failure raises questions about the effectiveness of such focused weeks in politics.
Lessons Learned and Future Uncertainty
While the idea of themed political weeks can provide a plan for parties during recess, the recent failures highlight the risks of pre-advertising plans. The practice of 'kite flying' also came into focus, where ideas are floated to test the waters before formal announcements. As the government faces uncertainties, next week's agenda remains a mystery.
Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction? I'm joined now by the former senior military intelligence officer, Philip Ingram. Good to see you again, Philip. Now, of course, Russian forces have made some advances in recent days in Bakhmut, but on the whole, there's been very little movement on the front line in recent weeks and months. Why is that? Yeah, well, exactly. Day 374 of Vladimir Putin's 10-day Special Military Operation. And the Russians, we keep talking about this spring offensive. They're probing the front lines in different places. Bakhmut will more detail that in a moment, but further north, up around Kramina and in the south, around Donetsk, they're trying to see where their weakness is in the Ukrainian defences. And they're not really finding any. The things that are influencing at the moment, the weather, the ground is softening up. ...
Ukraine War: What missiles have Russia fired? I mean, he caveated his remarks so that he wasn't departing from the official government line, which is that Ukraine makes the calls here when Ukraine's ready, then Ukraine may negotiate. But the fact that he, that comment we were taking out of context, and people will say that Rishi Sunak believes that there has to be a negotiation at, so at what point are we going to lean on the Ukrainians to negotiate? And I think that in Kiev, I think it won't be very, they won't welcome the fact that he said it. It's also, it's just not true that all wars end at the negotiating table. It's a line we've heard from the beginning, right from the start. People should read a book occasionally. The Second World War did not end in negotiation. One of yours perhaps. Yes. The First World War did not end in a meaningful negotia...
Micah Richards analyses Manchester United's 'humiliating' 7-0 loss to Liverpool | Match of the Day 2 Well, if he ran them after Brentford, he'll be running them tomorrow, won't he? I mean, what a remarkable game. Yeah, I was in disbelief. I was shocked and I was stunned from a Man United point of view. Man United, over the last couple of months, have been brilliant. You could see what they've been trying to do. Got some really good results, especially the one against Barcelona. The confidence was in the team. I didn't see United going and maybe winning today, I thought they'd maybe get a draw. But from Liverpool's point of view, they were clinical, they were outstanding, they had the fluidity back in the team. And they're just. This is a Liverpool that you want to see. We always thought Liverpool would be this this season. It's not quite h...
