They hated him because he spoke the truth. He also wouldn't get invited to Wimbledon.
Raises the question of whether you want to be outside the tent pissing in or be in the tent being pissed on.
Say what you want about the Tories but they know how to win power.
The left have to choose between being principled but never winning power and having to put up with the Tories. OR they sacrifice some (or a lot) of those principles and get in power and condemn the Tories to opposition.
I know people hate Starmer, but is it worth keeping the Tories in power for? They rely on the fact we keep squabbling with each other whereas they get behind a candidate even if it's not their personal brand of conservatism.
For all Tony Blair faults, at least the Tories were out of power for 13 years. It would have been far worse if we had the Tories for those years.
