ASH and Labour singing from the same hymn sheet

The Government has announced additional measures to crack down on children vaping.

No problem with that but what caught my attention was the remarkable similarity between the statements issued by Labour’s shadow health secretary Wes Streeting, and the CEO of ASH, Deborah Arnott.

According to Streeting, “This new announcement is a baby step when we need urgent action now.”

Echoing his words, Arnott said the proposals were “baby steps not the tough action that’s needed”.

Coincidence, or a sign of things to come?
