Fury at ’embarrassing’ Keir Starmer for praising Margaret Thatcher to woo Tory voters

Daily Mirror says Keir Starmer was hit by a furious backlash tonight after he lavished praise on Margaret Thatcher to woo Conservative voters.

In comments that enraged parts of his party, the Labour leader hailed the divisive Tory PM for bringing about “meaningful change” and “setting loose our natural entrepreneurialism”.

Writing in The Sunday Telegraph, he said: “Every moment of meaningful change in modern British politics begins with the realisation that politics must act in service of the British people, rather than dictating to them. Margaret Thatcher sought to drag Britain out of its stupor by setting loose our natural entrepreneurialism.”
