No more clinging to false hope after the deputy leader contest: left-wingers should be nowhere near the neo-Thatcherite party
Labour is dead
They’ve been around for 125 years and are curretly running the country. I think I’d give them a bit more credit for resillience.

There are many, many, things you can criticise Labour under Starmer for, but “neo-Tatcherite” is laughable and about the level of political insight as I’d expect from the canary.
Last I checked Maggie didn’t nationalise rail companies, or increase workers rights, or a mass house building programme, or make targeted invest in the north, or have an industrial policy, or put billions in to renewable. In fact, come to think of it, she did the exact opposite of every one of these things.
Am I happy with Labour right now? No. But not everything short of fully seizing the means of production is Thatcherite, and to pretend it is gives the dead bitch far too much credit.
