I've read that several times - where it describes Liz Truss very well, and Blair / Starmer very badly, is in the phrase 'limited welfare state'. Blair unveiled the most wide reaching expansion to the welfare state anyone under 80 had ever seen - it's clearly Starmer's ambition to do something similar. You have a stronger argument to make that Cameron was neoliberal than Blair or Starmer.

I also never want to hear anyone refer to Starmer (or Blair) as 'neoliberal' ever again. We had a taste of genuine neoliberal policy when Liz Truss got in. Starmer might not be going far enough for you, but he is not neoliberal. You couldn't even accurately characterise Hunt/Sunak as neoliberal
Hmmn..
