Those on the inside will be aware. There will have been policy development forums and the like by now. The fact they’re not publishing policies right now is just good politics. The election is years away, and the spotlight isn’t on Labour because of Covid. They have time, they might as well use it.
Starmer isn’t an idiot and it won’t have escaped his attention that Labour’s only truly successful period, elections wise, was when it occupied a broadly centrist position under Blair. He will fight for a return to something like that because he knows he won’t close the gap on the Tories otherwise. Red Len on the other hand has a cushy job for life and can afford to burnish his socialist credentials without much professional risk.
