Kerre Woodham: How can anyone not be critical of Labour?

I get texts on the daily from people saying “you're so negative about Labour”.  “You never have anything good to say about the last government.

Labour has come up with a policy that I think is actually meaningful and would hold employers more accountable for workplace deaths.
