UK Labour's Keir Starmer picks 'Stronger Together' slogan used by Hillary Clinton to rebrand

Keir Starmer has picked the election slogan of US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, “Stronger Together”, to badge the wide-ranging policy review that will lay the groundwork for Labour’s next manifesto.

Party chair Anneliese Dodds said the “Stronger Together” overhaul, which she will oversee, would focus on channelling the solidarity shown by the British public during the pandemic.

Clinton reportedly looked at 84 other slogans before adopting Stronger Together, alongside I’m With Her. A Labour aide pointed out that the full title of Dodds’s review is “Stronger Together: A Better Future for Britain”.

Dodds’s policy “roadmap,” which is expected to take more than 18 months to carry out, will cover six broad areas, including “a green and digital future,” “Britain in the world,” and “public services that work from the start”.

And Hillary's! I wonder what those who said Hillary wasn't progressive (establishment-corporatists-Wall Street-corrupt-status quo-neoliberal-warmonger-evil) think about this, the ones who say Democrats don't care about the working class because they're all bribed. That in any other other country progressives and Democrats wouldn't be in the same party.

Guess the Labour Party isn't stupid enough to fall for all that propaganda and is fine with using a Hillary slogan.
