SIR Keir Starmer was accused of “reheated Blairism” today after he vowed Labour’s planned reforms would be like Clause IV “on steroids.”
…
A Momentum spokesperson said: “Labour members and trade unions want what the public wants: transformative policies to fix the Tories’ broken Britain, from public ownership of public services to wealth taxes.
“By pursuing a path of reheated Blairism, the Labour leadership wouldn’t just be undermining party democracy.
“It would repeat past mistakes, leaving intact a deeply unequal and unpopular economic system. It’s time for change.”

I find it difficult to understand the strategy behind Starmer’s speech which on a superficial level is bound to annoy so many. He’s not popular anyway, why make it worse?
While a general election isn’t expected for some time is his team relying on mainstream media getting behind him? Will that work?
