Labour candidate’s D-Day blunder

It’s been a long hard slog for Keir Starmer and his team as they work to prove that he leads a Changed Labour party (honest). But in a bid to prove his patriotism, has one Starmtrooper now taken it too far? Mr S has previously been impressed with Keir Cozens, the well-connected candidate for Great Yarmouth, who has made a name for himself with his snazzy Labour posters and slick graphics.

But now it seems Cozens has overreached himself with his latest social media effort. In his bid to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day, Cozens shared a graphic of soldiers about to land in Normandy emblazoned with his own campaign slogan titled ‘Keir Cozens for Great Yarmouth.’ The Reform party was quick to jump on it. Rupert Lowe labelled it ‘extremely poor taste’ while another senior figure pointed out to Mr S that the image was of American, not British troops.
