It felt after 97 that the Labour manifesto could have been more radical as people had pretty much made up their mind to get rid of the Tories - an example of the adage that elections are lost, not won. It feels even more like that this time. But it's also true that Labour was more radical, and much more redistributive, than they let on. Much of that came from Brown and I'm not sure Reeves is of the same bent but surely it's not hard to see why they are more than cautious. There was much more enthusiasm and optimism in 97 and Blair was popular in a way Starmer is not but Jesus, these despicable Tory bastards are about to be kicked out and Labour might get its largest ever majority. Can't we wait till the morning after to start feeling miserable?
