There you go, some actual facts! Much easier to have a conversation when we talk about those instead of grandstanding, isn’t it?
I don’t agree with her votes on union issues, of course. But now she’s joined the party promising to reverse those, she’s implicitly endorsed reversing them. I assume she voted with the Whip. Maybe she’s changed her mind on that stuff, maybe not; maybe she never believed it and just did what the Whips said. I guess we’ll see if and how her voting record changes now she’s joined Labour.
She’s also campaigned for rent controls, which puts her to the left of current Labour policy. So, where does that leave us? She’s anti-worker but pro-renter? She’s left of some MPs, right of some others, so… just like every MP, then?
