I want to start by saying that I'm genuinely angry about what I'm about to talk about.

Labour have descended not so much into the gutter but the sewer,

0:08.6

in a way which, despite all my critiques of Keir Starmer's leadership of a Labour Pie,

0:14.4

I'm genuinely shocked by. Now, yesterday Labour put out an ad plastered with Rishi Senac's smiling

face. Next to you, do you think Adults convicted of sexual assaulting children should go to prison,

0:25.2

followed by Rishi Senac doesn't and then his signature? Below that,

0:29.3

it notes that under the Tories, four and a half thousand adults convicted of sexual assaulting
