    If he wanted progressivism he would have gone ahead and started on that over a year ago when they got into power. Going off his and his cabinet’s words and actions so far he really doesn’t want progressivism. I’ll wait and see what happens but this just seems like he’s trying to capitalise on the Your Party controversy, hoping by saying stuff like this that some of the people who went over to YP from Labour come back

  • Why the sudden change of heart? I welcome any move to the economic and/or social left, so in theory, this is very good news - but it does raise the question of why his tongue has spent half a year so far up Donald Trump’s arse, that he could taste Nigel Farage’s boots.

      Why?

      He has limited time left as leader. And hopes to change that.

      Good news?

      Honestly I doubt it. His solutions are unlikely to be anything but anti immigration and involve no effort to level out current wealth inequality. He will just use Farrages anti British comments in as a war cry. But I’m guessing.

      Donald Trumps arse?

      Is still likely very wet.
