*There's no point to Labour as a party if it won't [spend state funds] to pull children out of poverty.*

I agree. The Starmerian Labour Party is a fundamentally change from the past. It somewhat resembles Tony B'liar's "New Labour", but goes further because it won't allow anyone but centrists is allowed to be a candidate.

*The party claims its demands will be met with more economic growth — an argument no different to that of the Tories. Growth without redistribution merely shovels more wealth into the bank accounts of the already well off: that is what our economic model — which Labour plans to leave untouched — achieves in spades.*

This shows how fully the Labour Party has adopted the business-prioritizing policy that Tories used to follow before they went totally nuts.
