Labour can deliver?

Well, the Labour leader and prime Minister Andy Burnham gave a strong speech at his national conference with big ideas this week...big ideas that were not cheap. He even suggested re running Brexit....and cutting national pension rises to pay for elderly care, two issues that bought down a few Prime Ministers since the Brexit vote in 2016.I suspect these polices wont be in the next election campaign. Europe is swinging violently to the right . Do we really want top go back? I thought it was a strong speech. The crowd loved it and rose to their feet. But an embarrassing email from the Labour party was circulated. It was the sort of thing North Korea would send out. But, the Tories didn't deal with the main issues so its Labours turn. Lets hope they don't turn on each other before any of these policies get enacted.

Big ideas sound great on stage but the bill always shows up later. Re running Brexit and touching pensions has sunk leaders before, so I get why people are nervous. Hope they stick together long enough to actually get something done.
