Esther McVey's smoking ban tweet labelled repugnant by Jewish group

2. Good opposition is not about hyperbole

Good opposition is about calmly scrutinizing and refuting what the government of the day is doing. With the aim of becoming a better alternative to the government of the day.

I also think that banning smoking outside pubs is a terrible idea. At best it's unenforceable. At worst it will drive thousands of pubs out of business, at a time when we desperately need more people to get socialising with each other again. So we need good opposition to stop the government enacting bad policy here.

However, over the top hysterical nonsense such as Esther McVey has provided isn't what's needed to stop this from happening.
