Many traditional "Labourites" didn't vote for Starmer's Labour because they expected exactly this, so I think we're fine.
(Until this year, I've always voted Labour but reject the idea of being committed to a particular party... not a Labourite!)
Though I don't understand the "gotcha" from some (I assume), Conservative voters with the "haha Starmer/Labour is no different from the Tories!"
Okay. Well if this Labour is like the Tories then Conservative voters should be happy or are they admitting that the Tories are bad?
