Spare me with this, I saw an image of a Palestinian who was crushed by a truck. It was the most horrific thing I have ever seen. But painting though.

I find this so ironic because this argument is only deployed when Labour are to the right of us, but never the left. Why didn't Marina also say "Not a fan of Corbyn, much I don't like but we should vote for him to get the Tories out". Funny that isn't it.
For those that say Labour is Tory lite…. I get it. The way I see it…. If I’m trying to make a healthier choice, I’d go Diet Coke rather than full fat. Both are far from ideal. But if those are the only 2 options in the shop, what else can you do?. (…and yes, it’s a shit shop).
