Who could have known that breaking a pledge on tuition fees would end badly?

"Well, what about university tuition fees, then? Will you remain committed to scrapping them? They're all pledges, Andrew, so the answer to these questions is yes. So university tuition fees being scrapped will be in a Starmer manifesto? Yes, that's why it's a pledge. In the next election? Okay. There's no easy way to say this. We made a pledge. We didn't stick to it. And for that, I am sorry."

he was apologising for making the pledge not for breaking it as if he would have got our votes without it.</p>
