  1. if you think margaret thatcher was bad the only party you can vote for in england is the green party

  2. Keir has made a lot of good shrewd moves this year to try and get himself elected, but this is fucking stupid.

    There’s no need.

  3. People scoffed at me when I said labour now is politically further right than Boris Johnson and said they are one and the same.

  4. Well, there’s his principles gone out of the widow.

    Why do Labour leaders have this thing about praising the Wicked Witch of Westminster?

    For evetlry dodgy vote, they might gain the put in jeapordy at least 10 solid votes.

  5. Praising Thatcher, talking about being tough on immigration and “making tough financial decisions.” Add in that the shadow chancellor has the support of George Osborn, and the shadow health secretary wants more privatisation in the NHS, why should I vote for them apart from “they aren’t the tories”? They may not be exactly the same as them, but they’re going out of their way to imitate them in just about every area.

  6. I’ve been waiting for Keith’s ritual act of self harm, he seems to do it whenever labour are doing well.

  7. Blair’s most senior advisor, spin doctor and First Secretary of State Peter Mandelson once said ‘We are all Thatcherites now’.

    And Starmer is ‘Blair’s heir’.

    So, yeah.

  8. Ugh. I’ll still be voting Labour because ‘anything but the Tories’ but I’m fully aware that I’m essentially voting for Diet Conservatives.

  9. Anyone here still want to tell us he’s not a Tory?

    Is this still him playing 4D chess and we’ll see a centre left government once they are in power?

  10. He has to lie to bring back the thick “red wall” voters, they’ve been eating Tory gruel for 13 years and many still haven’t had enough and the country needs saving by whatever means necessary and I’ll still vote for the labour party (I have always supported Gordon Brown et Al).

  11. The moment you mention margaret thatcher you lose my vote instantly. Made lives miserable she did with extremely harsh and tough living standards
