Accusing union activists who heckled her for showing up at a protest in support of P&O workers who her government failed to support of being ‘hard-left militants’ might be such an example
Slurs against the supporters of the organisations who won workers all their rights isn’t anti worker?
How about repeatedly voting on bills to reduce the rights of workers to collectively bargain for better treatment? Or does she have to shoot striking people on the picket line for you to accept she doesn’t care about labour
There you go, some actual facts! Much easier to have a conversation when we talk about those instead of grandstanding, isn’t it?
I don’t agree with her votes on union issues, of course. But now she’s joined the party promising to reverse those, she’s implicitly endorsed reversing them. I assume she voted with the Whip. Maybe she’s changed her mind on that stuff, maybe not; maybe she never believed it and just did what the Whips said. I guess we’ll see if and how her voting record changes now she’s joined Labour.
She’s also campaigned for rent controls, which puts her to the left of current Labour policy. So, where does that leave us? She’s anti-worker but pro-renter? She’s left of some MPs, right of some others, so… just like every MP, then?

That’s not an anti worker view, it’s a description, either accurate or not, of a few shouty people at a protest.
