Isn't the issue you are avoiding here is how did this supposed 'admirable fighter for underdogs' become so vacuously right wing? -maybe cos that would mean admitting the media (inc.Guardian) pushed Starmer on his supposed decent-underdog-vibes, ignoring the left saying he was a foil for the right ?

From the Guardian: Reform Voters like nationalisation, interventionist left economics, taxing corporations- so why don't Labour try win Reform voters with this stuff, that Labour members, voters also like ? Instead of trying to copy Reform ? It's a headscratcher

How does it show things have changed ? These paras show that there have longtime been reactionaries who try hard to get offended by radical, mouthy musicians. The only change here is the author trying to equivocate and suggest Kneecap's fans/friends are somehow "hypocrites"

(2) These are the specific Disability policies in the manifesto (no PIP cuts) Labour haven't cleared the Access to Work backlog, they have put the "no immediate reassessment" plan into effect, the "local work, health & skills" offer only exists as a pilot

(1) Saw Torsten Bell on TV claiming Labour's PIP "Reforms" are in Labour's Manifesto. They are not, there is no mention of cutting PIP, or any mention of PIP at all in the manifesto . Instead, there is this sentence. Were disabled people's "views and voices" consulted by Reeves ?

Starmer is about to announce cuts in disability benefits nobody in Labour, outside a small core of right wingers, want. Well, how did we get here ? Here is one answer, from Patrick Maguire's book "Get In" - Starmerism and Labour Together are just a "Lie" to catch the gullible

John is right Labour should reject the Morgan McSweeney/Starmer plan to copy Reform, and do a socal investment "Plan B" but it's a bit late after John worked to undermine Labour's left opposition Corbyn & Co when they tried to do exactly that "Plan B"- maybe he should take some responsibility?

(4) Dishonesty again - Labour Together's two greatest fears in 2017 were (a) being exposed or (b) Labour winning an election - they wanted Labour to lose so they could take over (also from "Get In") - Starmer's rise was a "Great Deception"

This Guardian piece on possible strikes over wages claims pay strikes "crippled the economy " under the Conservatives. It's a weird and totally untrue claim - it reads like somebody has been briefing the Guardian with mad anti-strike propaganda and they just wrote it down

Starmer trying to summon up courage to overrule Rachel Reeves - on what? 2-child benefit cap? Winter Fuel Allowance ? Taxing the rich ? No : more bombs and bullets. A country with hungry children and warships isn't strong, it's puffed up (like Starmer)

Very good argument that Starmer is an empty vessel filled by a millionaire-donor funded right wing 'project', but shouldn't you have joined the left who were saying this when he ran for leader? Or at least back the 'Corbyn-ish' left who said it then and offer some resistance to it now ?
