'As the likely next government, Labour has a historic opportunity to modernise UK democracy and rebuild trust in politics.

Don't tell me Sir Beige Starmer is just as bad as Richie Rich Sunak. He isn't. I'm not saying he's going to be good. He isn't good. But he will categorically not be as bad for as many people as the Tories.

Are there some policies where Labour isn't much different from the Tories? A few.
It's still going to be a HUGE improvement to the vast majority.
