It is what had been agreed at the Labour Party Conference. I have actually seen all of these before but never in the same place.,

There are a few nebulous statements in there. Would you know where I could get some details? Thanks.
 
Sounds great... But the first question will be how are they going to pay for it...

The same way the Tories promised and delivered Brexit.

(On the caveat that they still haven’t worked out what to do about the unsolvable Northern Ireland issue).

I'm glad they've started announcing some policies but even here there's a lot of repetition to pad it out.

"Use sun and wind to reduce energy bills" and then 2 lines down from that "publically owned, renewable GB energy company".

"Invest in warm homes for all, cutting bills", and then 5 down from that "Insulate 19 million homes".

"A green industrial revolution", "plant 300m new trees, and restore existing green sites", "introduce emergency environment act to tackle climate crisis", "£28bn climate pledge" - they're all the same policy.

"Invest £10.8bn in social care, and introduce free personal care", and then 4 down "a national care service".

I'm not complaining (y) it's an improvement on a few months ago although obviously nothing like as transformative as the last few platforms would have been. I just think its a bit pitiful for the party to start crowing look at all our policies with memes that embellish quite a lot.

And of course the whole list has to be caveated with the fact that Starmer's unreliable and untrustworthy. All/any of these policies will be in the bin if that's what Mandleson or a big money donor demand.
