As an outsider myself: what can we expect from him?
Does he have some genuinely good proposals, or is this more of Labour's Third Wayism?
Everything I've seen so far looks like a promise to continue down Starmer's political dead end.
I haven't seen much to suggest he's more than Starmer with a palette swap. He makes a lot of the same mouth noises as Starmer from 15 years ago, but still seems fully invested in deficit hawkery and military expansion and propping up of the failing capital enterprises.
Even then, with Reform UK looming over his shoulder and Labour MPs heading for the exits, Idk what he'll actually manage to do before he loses his majority. I suspect he's just getting stood up like Ed Miliband, so British News can scream about Far Left Labour come election day.
