I am only just catching up with this which in my view is deeply unpleasant and I would suggest politically naive.

If Starmer’s party thinks it can win elections with this sort of nastiness then fine. I think it is a mistake and as PBers should know I should be a key target for LAB being a tactical voter in the tightest marginal in the UK – Bedford . I can only assume that whoever is responsible for signing off these things in the LAB party is on holiday and that this is an ill-thought-out mistake that slipped out
