Starmer boasts of moving the Labour Party to the "center". He claims it will win because people hate the Tories. They do, and it may. But the emphasis on economic growth is explicit rejection of the goal of redistributing the wealth that the rich have taken away from the rest. That's what it means to be a "centrist" party — don't make the rich any less rich.

No wonder Starmer opposes unions when they show a willingness to do more than piss and moan.

We will never get a big change for the better from Centrist Labour. It will be more Tony B'liar.
