It  seems some supporters of Keir Starmer are having trouble coping with his assertion that the Tories are no longer Conservatives and Labour is now the true party of Conservatism (not conservation, by the way).

He’s probably just doing his usual wheeze of grubbing around for votes from another party that has suffered some misfortune.

But that doesn’t mean we can’t, or shouldn’t, point out that he’s still being false. The evidence suggests that his party is now, as an old comment levelled against his current shadow chancellor put it, “more Tory than the Tories”.

Here’s Damo:

I’m particularly keen on the segment where the emphasis on working people is discussed:

“Starmer and his equally nasal minion Rachel Reeves talk about being on the side of working people, they repeat the mantra of working people over and over again, ignoring those not in work and not able to work – implying that, just like the Tories, they aren’t on the side of the long term sick or disabled, or out of work, and indeed they are only on the side of working people for as long as they don’t go on strike. Because you won’t see Starmer on a picket line for dust.”

So Starmer’s attitude to us is that we are only useful as long as we work – in his interest, not ours.

Exactly the same as the Tories, then.
