    What’s the point in a LABOUR government if the party is willing to take the support of people who are proudly anti-worker? What good will it do to be a government of tories with red ties?

      People have said exactly this about every Labour government, right down to the cliche about the ties. And yet, somehow, despite being Tories, all those LABOUR goverments somehow did a whole load of very Labour things! Amazing!

        Maybe you’re right and I hope you are, but I can’t trust a ‘democratic socialist’ party that repeatedly turns it’s back on promises to workers and allows hard right sexual assault apologists into the party

          Yeah she’s horrible. None of that has anything to do with policy decisions. Her being a sexual assault apologist won’t make labour worse, except by the very weird “painted by association” belief that you seem to have. She’s going to be an advisor not a policy maker, not a decision maker. She’s going to have to work for Angela Raynor which will be hilarious.

      She’s not anti-worker she’s pro-worker. She’s a complete nutcase but she’s not actually against British people like some of the Tories. They seem to think that anyone with less than six figures in their bank account should be ignored, she seems to care about British people. As long as you’re not too different you’re okay in her eyes.

      She deserves a slightly less bad circle of hell.

      My point is if you’re going to criticize her, and there’s a lot to criticize her about, at least criticize her actual beliefs rather than just making things up that aren’t true.
