10 Seconds
The winter fuel payment debacle highlighted a number of negative aspects of Keir Starmer’s government, but one of them was particularly revealing.
0 seconds – How about restricting the winter fuel payment in some way?
5 seconds – Oh come on – you must be joking.
10 seconds – I must be – bad idea, let’s move on.
An entirely imaginary conversation of course, because we know it didn’t happen like that, but here’s the oddity – for most of us the conversation would have taken place along similar lines. Idea is raised, examined and rejected all within a very short time.
It’s a fairly basic skill – quickly evading bad ideas as they pop up, particularly really bad ideas. Far from perfect evasion as we know, because we are given many, many opportunities for adopting bad ideas, but it’s a necessary ability.
Starmer, Reeves and company don’t seem to be very good at evading bad ideas. It has taken months to accept that the winter fuel payment idea was one of those really bad ideas which should have vanished in about 10 seconds.
Almost as if our most senior politicians are where they are because they are receptive to bad ideas which others wish to try out. As if their ability to strut their stuff on the political stage is in part a reflection of their remarkably limited ability to spot how things work in real life.
