It all looks pretty reasonable. There's nothing revolutionary or particularly exciting in there but, to be honest, I'm not sure that's what's required at the moment.
What other stuff would people like to see?

Platitudes are not philosophy nor policy. In a document like that you want substance.
Full disclosure, still not read it so there may be something substantive to support the radical position of "we support hard working families." But as it is, those points are so neutral they could just as easily be "positions" put forward by the Tories.

I'd like to see something about social justice in there. There's nothing about protecting the vulnerable or standing with the oppressed. I know that we've spent a bit too much time on this over the last six years but it is an important part of being a democratic socialist organisation and we can't hide our values when they're so much a part of why we exist.
This is specifically on the trans rights stuff that I'm thinking. Starmer has been weak on Duffield and imo anyone who argues that the equality act 2010 should reduce its scope of protection for trans people should not be in the party.
