      Everything does now because of lack of fiscal headroom, things will look wildly different in 18 months.

      Both parties are keeping their powder dry. Tories for tax cuts, labour for spend.

      Keir is a smart politician, ruthless and compassionate.

          Nope, it’s just pragmatic politics. If your opponent lurches right, you take the centre. You don’t lurch left, if you want to win.

              UK moves from centre right to centre left fairly predictably. Thankfully the hard right or left never get the popular vote.

              Starmer seems quite boring but effective. I don’t have a problem with that. Popularism is much more dangerous.
