Agreed, it feels like we just need pragmatic policies that will benefit us, the country, the planet. Eg create green energy for the benefit of the country, tax the very richest more, spread the wealth about a bit more evenly, look after the young and vulnerable etc etc it doesn’t seem like rocket science to me.

I think in some ways this just shows how inward looking and archaic UK politics has become. This sort of targeted state ownership isn't the super left thing it once was...its a serious policy to solve problems, nurture growth and generate wealth. Its the sort of thing that left and right wing governments are doing all over Europe. It feels like UK politics has been so up its own arse it never really left the 1970s.
