"Keir Starmer has praised Margaret Thatcher for effecting “meaningful change” in Britain in an article directly appealing to Conservative voters to switch to Labour...
“Across Britain, there are people who feel disillusioned, frustrated, angry, worried. Many of them have always voted Conservative but feel that their party has left them,” he said. “I understand that. I saw that with my own party and acted to fix it. But I also understand that many will still be uncertain about Labour. I ask them to take a look at us again.”
"The Labour leader touted the party’s “iron-clad fiscal rules” in an effort to portray Labour as trustworthy on the economy."
“There will be many on my own side who will feel frustrated by the difficult choices we will have to make,” he added. “This is non-negotiable: every penny must be accounted for. The public finances must be fixed so we can get Britain growing and make people feel better off.”

I am hearing that it didn't go down too well in Scotland, Wales and NI...
A Brexit supporting New Newer Labour, and led by a former shadow Brexit minister who paradoxically supported Remain. With an anti-immigration stance, out Torying the Tories on immigration and a proposal of another five years of "iron clad" ideological austerity in their first term. While fixing EVERYTHING, if you vote them in for a second term, without spending a single penny extra...
The icing on the cake though is hearing Starmer now publicly gloating about pulling out all the stops, chasing the Tory Party further to the right, to woo the same voters who put that charlatan Boris in power in 2019 (who is further to the centre than Starmer). With the rather grotesque privateer, Streeting, licking his lips in anticipation at the thought of getting his grubby little hands on the NHS and in doing so opening the door, yet again, for the Tories to further privatize when they regain power.
Imagine... Starmer and his "centrist" supporters, none of who'm having any shame at all about jumping into bed, with the same enemy they spent years claiming they despise. For five years of power, perhaps ten, depending on how soon the Tory machine grinds back into action and because it is all and only about power, for power's sake and not in fact about leaving a long term legacy that improves the lives of EVERYONE in our godforsaken society.
Much like Blair's time in power.![Roll Eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
