A question for #DarrenJones Do you think that if you knocked on people’s doors and offered them either (compulsory) ID cards or a reduction in their electricity bills they would be more likely to ask for ID cards? That was the policy that you were happy to promote until recently.

I tried watching BBC #Kuenssberg's interview with #DarrenJones, https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002vphq.

There was no point in the whole 20 minutes that any part of Jones told me that he was a Labour politician. Not his demeanour, his values, his priorities, his policies, nothing.

Yes, he is Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister, and that came across. His job is to defend the Prime Minister. But this passionless suit gave not a hint of anything to suggest what movement had put him in place.

#DarrenJones MP is a #Starmtrooper who looks & sounds like a v posh classmate of #HarryPotter at #Hogwarts.

For about 5 minutes, young Darren has been "Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister", a job made up for Darren. Now young Darren wants to lead the #LabourParty. 🙄

If Darren has any political values, they are expertly hidden. He'd do a grand job of illustrating why it's #LINO: Labour In Name Only.

Darren would be a fine choice to finally drive the corpse of Labour over a cliff. 😈
