Angela Rayner will be attacked for whatever she does. It’s not because she went to the opera, it’s not because she danced during a DJ set, it’s not because she was wearing doc martens in parliament or because her accent. It’s because she’s a strong, working-class woman.

It’s not that Keir Starmer doesn’t want to stand with striking workers. It’s that he wants to be Prime Minister so he can meet the demands of striking workers. That’s the difference between Labour in government and Labour in opposition. 🤷‍♀️

When I see people on the left hoping that Starmer loses the next election because he doesnt represent their views. To them, its about forcing their ideology on people. In reality, Labour in power is about helping people who cant deal with any more Tory hardship.

Keir Starmer has turned the Labour Party round in two years from a party in the gutter, to a serious and credible contender for government. Sorry if I’m not interested in the opinions of the hard left, Owen Jones or right wing commentators.

To win power in politics you have to remember that you’re appealing to people, and not your own ideology. The majority of people aren’t radical, they just want a government that works for them. That is what @Keir_Starmer ‘s Labour is going to deliver.
