This week’s episode featured a former Labour adviser named Ayesha Hazarika describing the “beautiful shot” of Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer with his wife Victoria at a Wembley event on Swift’s Eras Tour as the high point of the party’s election campaign thus far.
Hazarika stated: “I think the standout moment for the Labour campaign for me happened this week, probably by accident, not choreographed.”
He shared the campaign photo on X on Friday night, saying, “Keir Starmer with his wife Vic, at that Taylor Swift concert.”
It was a lovely picture that exuded enthusiasm, modernism, and optimism. In the backdrop, Taylor Swift is dressed in red.”
“That is the optic that his team has been working so hard to push,” she continued. And after that, it was most likely captured by someone who simply took a picture and posted it on Twitter.”
However, as political parties scramble to project a positive image ahead of the UK general election on July 4, Beth Rigby, political editor at news, feels the photo was “more choreographed than that”.
“It was a really genuinely nice photo of the two of them… but I think that was a couple of things going on there,” she explained.
