  • 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.

  • Personally I think it's too early in the election cycle to be launching fully formed plans. We're probably looking at two or three years until the next election, anything released now will have lost its impact by then (or possibly be unworkable in post covid/brexit times).

    @ReekBlefs I guess in theory that's point 4. Maybe they didn't go for anything more explicit as they didn't want to be accused of being too "woke". Although I think they could have promoted something like that together with "British values" of tolerance, fighting for the underdog, etc
