There are plenty of things that Starmer has said he'll do that are more left wing than Blair. Despite the performative stuff with the unions recently, they appear to be pretty keen on many of Labour's policies, and consider that they go further than anything Blair/Brown did.
Blair was portrayed in exactly the same way before 1997, and if it hadn't been for the Corbyn years, there's no way that Starmer would be presented as anywhere near to Blair.
The Labour (Or is it new new Labour I have forgotten) aren't different enough to make a jot of difference, the only difference they will make is that at least the Tory charlatans are gone and out. Saying that I will give Labour 6 years when the honeymoon will crash around their ears with infighting and the public twigging on.
Then the people saying that people will still vote Tory in the next GE will be making excuses for Labour voters who will still vote Labour when they eventually shit the bed, it's a vicious circle that can only come about through real change.
Starmer is even slapping a red rosette on a few Pigs and selling it as beef to the general public, all the while these grifters in suits get paid and the public don't get an option for real change.
I'm an optimistic pessimist.
