Firstly I know she’s new, and a youthful 26 years old, but don’t patronise her. She’s an elected MP, clearly capable and articulate and her words should be scrutinised just as any MP’s statements should be.

N.B. It's the "40 years of Thatcherism" bit that has caused controversy
Neil Coyle MP rightly notes some of the great things New Labour did “introducing the Human Rights Act & National Minimum Wage… Sure Start programme & Tax Credits”
New Labour, for all its positives, did not unpick those fundamentals. In some areas it built on them
He said that, “My job was to build on some Thatcher policies”, spelling out that he kept trade union law as Thatcher left it and didn’t renationalise.

i.e. to end Thatcherism where New Labour did not, as Blair himself said.
