Keir Starmer in Guardian - "Growing up in a working-class household." Starmer's father OWNED the toolmaking business. Starmer, therefore, is NOT working class. Starmer (and Reeves) are both classic members of the PETTY BOURGEOISIE.

The Left must totally focus on assisting the highly principled, former MP (South Africa), Andrew Feinstein, in his campaign (gathering steam) to defeat Starmer-this would give traditional Labour a huge boost, since Starmer is barely Labour.
