      I see what you’re going for, but it’s like you didn’t read what I said and tried to take a perceived sentiment and run with it.

      First things first, there’s not a single yardstick by which we can ever call Maggie Thatcher left or even centrist and so the fact that Starmer is praising her, in whatever context or abstraction, puts him firmly on the right.

      Are we saying he’s far right like Farage? No! Like Rees Mog? Not far off but no!

      What I alluded to was that chasing votes without any integrity isn’t a good thing and that I hoped it would backfire because those constituents of Labour seats who have had to endure the fuckeries we’ve been through deserve better than more of the same. We deserve new ideas, new approaches and a government that doesn’t try and hold up Margaret fucking Thatcher as anything other than a fucking evil cow that’s better off dead!

      And I would argue that people like you that try and Red Wash Starmer and his actions are actually at the root of the problem.
