BE WARNED: Starmer & Reeves aren't praising Thatcher by accident.

Rachel Reeves and Keir Starmer have announced that their plans for growth are to copy what Thatcher did in the 80's...
Right, so Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves have gone full Tory, despite Reeves’ desperate claims to hate the title Red Tory even though it fits her like a glove and nothing quite nails that statement down quite like telling the world that Margaret Thatcher was right.
As much as I was brought up to not speak ill of the dead, it’s very difficult to not do so when it comes to Thatcher, the lives and livelihoods she destroyed in her ideological crusade to sell off every public asset not nailed down, the rampant unemployment and perhaps how avoidable that might have been if not for the Falklands War saving her backside. She might be dead and buried, people might well still cheer and celebrate that, but with Labour now taking the political position her Conservatives occupied, because the Tory Party under Sunak have gone so far to the right, she’s just been reincarnated as a nasally capitalist ex banker with a bob cut instead of a bouffant and if you’re voting Labour now, it’s a vote for Thatcher’s politics.
Right, so Labour have been flirting with reflections of Thatcherism for long enough that it really ought to start ringing alarm bells in some heads. Starmer has said quite recently that Thatcher effected meaningful change and set loose Britain’s natural entrepreneurism, which is just the most pious drivel to most of us who grew up through those times. Meaningful change came in the form of mass unemployment, my dad amongst those 3 million people who lost their job during her decimating reign. Thatcher also oversaw two massive recessions which Thatcher used as the excuse for the mass selloff of all manner of public assets from BAE, to BT, BritOil, British Gas, British Airways, BP, British Steel, British Rail, you know the craic by now I’m sure and probably spotted something I missed out here too.
Labour’s leadership are now celebrating their similarities with Thatcher, and Starmer has got a new slogan on the go now, promising a decade of national renewal. But if Reeves the banker and Starmer the economically illiterate think this is the answer, then they’re both deluded fools that a British public, after 14 years of economic failure and pain delivered as always by the Tories, will stand for any more failure, especially when so many, despite the warnings are putting so much stock in getting the Tories out to effect some meaningful change. They are in for a horrible shock when they realise nothing will actually change.
Now much of this ire has come out from last night, when Rachel Reeves delivered the annual Mais Lecture, an address to Reeves old workmates, the bankers in the City of London, so it was always going to be a right wing philosophical love-in of the kind of politics they appreciate, the very fact Reeves was invited to deliver it should be a massive klaxon warning in all honesty. Now much of this speech was leaked in advance and the Funding the Future blog of economist Richard Murphy, formerly called Tax Research UK, had this to say about Reeves lecture, the contents of it, having been leaked in advance.Show more

Hi, I'm Damien Willey. I'm a former welder, but now I'm a writer, blogger, vlogger and presenter and interviewer with Socialist Telly (Please do go and visit what we all get up to on https://www.youtube.com/c/SocialistTelly)
I'm an unpaid carer for my disabled wife and daughter and as such we know all too well the difficulties that associated with that living in Tory Britain and I personally believe the answer lies in socialism.
