IMO, he's so confident of winning the next election he's simply moving on the tories ground; taking their ideas, BoJo's Leveling Up and making it his own. I think the Reeve's "Thatcher" speech is an example of this as well.
I believe he's doing this not just to win the next election but to do it with a landslide, which will in all probability secure him and 2nd Labour a second term in office. I take it as a sign of confidence.

That's a good point, I'd not considered how this steals Tory ideas. It's something that that have historically done to labour so it's nice to see in reverse.

A few times this thread has referenced a landslide election/obliterating the Tories as being a means of securing a second term (often as an defense of KS policies/lack of policies), but surely 2019 showed us you can win a landslide and throw it all away in one term?
A lot of discourse aimed at Labour in December 2019 was that 'it will take a generaiton to get back into power' and yet here we are.

I mean levelling up as an idea is great.
I wonder why he is saying this though (not read the article or any interview).
Is this is part of a two headed plan to make labour seem less partisan, to show they will work for good ideas that will help the country, and make sunak look like a bell end.
Edited for swearing as this isn't the Tory thread.
