Some insight from my policy wonk mate. On one level looking hard for the positives but elements i hadnt considered:
"The labour manifesto is a document that is deeply uninspiring on one level, but underneath, does have a strong analytical edge on the structures that underpin the political economy of the country as it really functions. Killing off competitive budding for councils, allowing for multi year settlements, and bringing in more integrated settlements for combined mayoral regions sounds really fucking boring, but it is how you are going to transform public services and decision making at the local level.
So if the industrial strategy they're quietly posing is about a radical transfer of power to the regions through the mayoralties (newly empowered through reshaped planning regulations), then I guess that's where the bet on growth is coming from. The Tories can't touch the planning stuff because their political base is basically the green belt. So I suppose Starmer has made the calculation that he'd rather expend his political capital on ramming through planning reforms than the EU. Put another way, there's going to be an absolute forest of nationally owned onshore wind farms by 2029."
