I wish that were true, but there's absolutely no chance of moving away from those things. This lot are further right than Cameron's government was in 2010.
This has been my argument for it. I didn't vote for Cameron's lot in 2010 because they were too right wing, and I've gottne more left since then, so why the hell would I vote Starmer now just cos he's on a red ticket!
What does that mean though? You don't think George Osborne was just as serious about his fiscal rules and attacking people on benefits as Rachel Reeves is?
No. Tory policy is to shrink the state, Labour's is not, although they a) had tough job to convince enough voters that they won't "bankrupt the country" and b) have a really difficult starting point to build it back and may well fail
