The manifesto
The word "tough" appears in the document 39 times, the word "reform" 83 and the word "control" 23.
The words liberal and liberty don't appear once. This is old Labour in a modern setting, a surrendering of progressive liberal ambitions for the future.
That says it all. When we need leadership, principles and hope what we get is drivelling mush.... a babble of incoherent assertions... an empty space.
"The argument of this manifesto is that we need to deliver a future fair for all," Gordon Brown writes at the start, which means nothing.
