The reshuffle, thought to have been deftly managed by Sue Gray, made a shadow cabinet heavy with stalwarts from the Blair-Brown era
I don’t know about other people but I really was hoping for more than a sequel to the Blair years. I mean I get they need experience but the Tories are on the ropes, the Centrists in the party have had 13 years to come up with new ideas…
This is just not scaring the horses, the Tories are kicking themselves in the balls so hard as their policies come home to roost, it’s not the time to be radical.
Boring and effective is the way to power. Everyone’s had enough of psychodrama politics.
The world is literally burning up due to man made climate change and we have highest most obscene inequality since the war and this isn’t the time to be radical?
Labour have a net zero plan, and they already tried radical with Corbyn with predictable results
When is the time to be radical, then? Is it when the opposition is in a strong position?
Obviously not. But most of the floating voters labour is trying to attract aren’t radicals they just know they want something better.
I, personally, do not think that after dropping the tax on the top 5% on earners (the main frightened the horses policy) it was also necessary to drop the workers rights and ending 2 child limit on benefits.
They’ve also give cold on green policies by the sounds of it. I mean at some point you’ve got to differentiate yourself
It’s never the time to be radical, we must always put the rich first no matter what. Helping the majority of the nation live decent lives is something that will just have to wait until we’re all dead and buried, it really is the only way, all the billionaire owned media agrees.
Things did get better for the majority of the nation under previous Labour governments. It wasn’t perfect by any stretch, but if your criterion for good governance is ‘helping the majority of the nation live decent lives’, which I agree is a noble goal, Labour’s track record shows they’re the party to vote for.
Being radical for radical’s sake seems equally stupid.
