The "gay, working class..." bit made me cringe, I honestly dont give a fuck if she's gay, but this:
"If centrist Labour members are “Tory scum”, then what of the hard-up pensioner who is uneasy with immigration in his community? What of the hi-tech chief executive donating to charity, the underpaid waitress saving to go to Ascot, or the many other category-defying voters out there?
As a progressive party of principle we must reach out to all. We have an imperative to locate the shared values we have with someone tempted by Ukip or a Tory swing-voter, and to persuade them – not just because it’s the only way we’ll win power, but because it’s the right thing to do."
is bang- on. I'm not sure about her chances against Jezza though.
