It will be a change yes, but if that's all you're hoping Labour will deliver then I struggle to see the point.
We've seen in America how easy it is for the Far Right to take a strong foothold when people don't challenge them directly to try and shift the Overton window back to the centre.
Rightly or wrongly plenty of vulnerable people are seriously disenfranchised with politicians and if Labour aren't willing to talk about truly progressive changes that will have a material benefit to them, and are instead happy to be a centrist neo-liberal "good government", then it cedes that ground to right wing populists who will happily take it
