If a Labour leader (or indeed, any party) is going to u-turn on a policy every time it ends up on another party’s leaflet then it’s going to end up very bland indeed.

He isn’t going to win every seat so I’m not sure the point of pandering to those he doesn’t win.

Are you not forgetting that the British Electorate don't like extremes whether its left or right, they prefers political parties that occupy the centre ground of British politics.
