THE furore over Keir Starmer’s announcement that he will refuse to scrap the two-child benefit cap has gone eerily quiet for now.
While it represents yet another 180 degree pivot away from any semblance of decency for the Labour Party, it also serves as a reminder of the ongoing blurring of boundaries between Labour and the Tories.
