Labour's attempt to reset it economic strategy could have been done at any time but is only appearing now due to a growing challenge from the Left (Green Party of England & Wales & Scottish Greens).

So, one might conclude that being forced in the face of a local election wipe-out to re-jig a failing economic policy (likely taking ideas from the Greens) is too late & not such a good bet as parties *actually* committed to such an approach already.

@ChrisMayLA6 quite. Reading the article, my only impression was yet more cynical posturing by @UKLabour to try to tackle their appalling poll numbers, nothing to do with wanting to do the right thing for people

And remarkable how similar their rhetoric sounds to what Zack Polanski has been saying for months

As with their outrageous attempts to shore up the right flank by being more racist than Reform, trying to pretend they’re democratic socialists won’t wash
