I guess there's a few troubles with the 2017 manifesto being the guiding document. The obvious is that it was the guiding document for 2019 and that didn't go at all well (and Starmer should obviously have known that), the other is that they've just suffered a heavy defeat and need some flexibility.
Personally I don't think it's a huge deal but I'm not really ideologically wedded to the left or right. I can't see that all of the stomping of feet is really going to help the party though.
