Thanks for copy-pasting @Señor_Bear.
I always liked Blair bitd but I was just at school. I liked that speech, though maybe doesn't go quite far enough in being 'progressive'. His outright rejection of the 'far' left is too strong - they deserve a seat at the table surely? Compromise is the answer there.
I also thought it was interesting how he talked a lot about how stuff was too radical in the manifesto but then how he advocates for
and openly admits it needs to be radical. This epitomises the issue: branding.
I think Labour needs a slightly less ambitious manifesto (but only slightly more right) delivered by an outwardly centrist leader with a strong team.
