The reshuffle, thought to have been deftly managed by Sue Gray, made a shadow cabinet heavy with stalwarts from the Blair-Brown era
I don’t know about other people but I really was hoping for more than a sequel to the Blair years. I mean I get they need experience but the Tories are on the ropes, the Centrists in the party have had 13 years to come up with new ideas…
I don’t think it’s so much ideological (though I don’t mind if it is) as a case of promoting those with experience of government. Inevitably, that means people who worked under Blair and Brown.
