🔁 Repetition
Repeated references to similar spending patterns by Burnham, Starmer, and Reeves reinforce the idea of a uniform, negative political approach.

🧼❌ Smears
Statements like 'make a profit and we will punish you for it' and 'Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss. Only worse.' smear the subjects by implying punitive and ineffective governance.
🤔 Doubt
