On the other hand I do think he made a bit of a faux pas last week as he was reported to now be 'down with the Thatcherites'.
And of course we will get those who will say 'better the devil you know' in reference to the Tories, even if they still generally despise them.
It does seem there's a lot of whataboutery and strawmen/one-upmanship going on with a lot of this right now. And I don't mean from you Terry BTW.
Of course, only time will tell as to how things eventually play out in next year's election, but despite Labour's more favourable opinion poll ratings more recently, (at worst), I'm still not holding my breath.
