  • Great speech.

    But one delivered by a man who helped to shape the crisis in trust in politics, and who helped to legitimise the kind of "competition is good" mentality which has started to deconstruct our education and healthcare systems.

    I think his brand is more toxic than he or the media realise, and it's telling that even Jess Philips has been keen to distance himself from him in her opening bids for leadership.

  • No I don’t think he did that. I think he understood he couldn’t appear too radical or he’d spook the electorate and the establishment. But there was some pretty forward thinking stuff, sure start centres, NHS walk in centres focus on ending child poverty, homelessness. None of that now of course.
