Misleading Starmer Headline Causes Meltdown

Starmer has written an article in the Telegrapyh, appealing to a group of key voters for the election. The headlines generated suggested that he praised Thatcher but, reading the article, he did nothing of the sort, even if you squint your eyes. Why do people on the left read a headline from a right-wing newspaper and instantly believe it? Because it feeds their prejudice and they see no reason to question their own prejudices. This is why we need to teach critical thinking.

Full quote:

"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. Tony Blair reimagined a stale, outdated Labour Party into one that could seize the optimism of the late 90s. A century ago, Clement Attlee wrote that Labour must be a party of duty and patriotism, not abstract theory. To build a “New Jerusalem” meant first casting off the mind-forged manacles. That lesson is as true today as it was then."
