Cleverly stated the 'Stop the Boats' slogan simplified a complex issue into a soundbite, making it an unachievable target because even one boat crossing is a failure.
Criticizing the pandemic response, Cleverly said, 'Lockdowns were wrong, we got it badly, badly, badly wrong,' pointing out the negative transformation of the UK from a freedom-loving nation to one of surveillance.
He emphasized the need to elevate diverse expert opinions, saying, 'We deified certain experts... while experts on domestic abuse, children's mental health... were relegated in importance.'
Cleverly attributed part of the Conservative's election defeat to their 'harsh and shrill' tone, which he compared to 'nails down a blackboard,' advocating for a more thoughtful approach.
