So this is why Starmer hasn't gone after Tufton St.
Look at the relish Osborne and Cameron had going after trade unions. Imagine what they'd have done with a majority like Starmer's.
Instead this Labour government roll over for dark money think-tanks because they share their zeal for privatisation

Keir Starmer tells Beth Rigby that
1/3 of Labour MPs rebelling against the Welfare Bill
Is not a vote of no confidence
And all I can think about is the shame of the other 2/3 of Labour MPs who think cutting disability benefits is a good thing - shame on them

Business live – latest updates
Rachel Reeves should loosen her fiscal rules to prevent the need for emergency spending cuts, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said in its annual review of the UK economy, as it upgraded its forecasts for UK growth this year.
Adding to the clamour from backbench Labour MPs incensed by the government’s welfare cuts, the Washington-based organisation said the chancellor should examine ways to avoid making short-term savings when there is a downturn in economic forecasts. Continue reading...

Children with special education needs have simply had it too good for too long according to George Osborne prodigy, Rachel Reeves. Anything with a social good must be burned on the bonfire of fiscal prudence to appease bond market psychopaths.

The government’s own assessment states that its disability benefit cuts will potentially push 250,000 people into poverty, including 50,000 children, and up to 800,000 people will be impacted.
Shame on this Labour government! An utter bunch of Red Reformers. 🥀

People might finally realise that Starmer is a pathetic bully who only knows how to suck up to those with power and punch down on those with none. He's the weasel at work who grovels when the manager comes into the room but sneers at the post room workers. He's a cunt.

Maybe the truth is they just aren't that leftwing.
Labour's base-punching strategy reminds of the Seinfeld episode where George is so obsessed with making Jerry's girlfriend like him (she clearly hates him) that he neglects his own girlfriend (who does like him) and she leaves him

Narrator: it's because they don't want to implement leftwing policies unless they're absolutely forced to.
You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.
