Comment on Starmer promotes Blairites as Labour thoughts turn to governing
ReCursing@kbin.social 1 year agoOh I would absolutely rather Starmer's Labour than anything tory, but that's not a very high bar. I never liked Corbyn, I thought he was a hypocritical arsehole at times, but I did like many of his policies and polling showed so did much of the populous when you took away party designation. So my hope was that Starmer would continue in the same vein as Corbyn but be a more electable individual

In court cases, ideally you save the crystallization of your argument for summing up, because if you reveal it too early on you give the opposing side the opportunity to rebut it.
I like to hope that’s Starmer’s strategy. If he says anything too exciting too far for an election, it gives the Tories an angle, and time to spin nonsense against him. But you can’t punch fog.

It's a theory, and I hope you're right. But there gas been no hint that he is doing anything like that at all
