Duplicate Post by sawyerhja

I think I have the Starmer quotation (running around the puzzle) correct. But, I have one "E" left over, with one "T" short. Could there be an error by the setter?

Thanks both

Sawyerhja, my letters all match up. As far as I can tell (I admittedly don't check ultra-closely because jumbo grids induce eyestrain), there is no setter error.

Sawyerhja, I have the same problem as you.

Perhaps one kind soul will give the quotation they have that fits the uncrossed letters given and we can see if and where we have gone wrong. Somebody has already asked but without getting a satisfactory reply.

I hesitate to give my full quote because of spoilers.

Re. sawyerhja's question, I used all 4 T's: 26th position of the top row (TO), 22nd position of the right column (PARTY), 8th and 20th positions of the bottom row (POPULIST and DOESN'T respectively)

Then I will give it, now I know where I have gone wrong.

We in the Labour Party have got to show we are a serious party which doesn't have populist policies or indeed popular policies.

If somebody now wins the £250 and not me because I have given the quotation, good luck to them.

FWIW, I got the same quote.
