As David Edgerton concludes:
'Labour’s basic growth policy is much the same as the Tory policy of the last 40 years: liberalise, encourage foreign investment, support innovation, invest in some infrastructure & now make Brexit work'... so if you were looking for some new ideas about how to 'transform' the UK political economy you'd need to look elsewhere.
A different (more equal, greener) future is clearly visible, but Labour is unable to see it!
