"You can't blame Labour for that: it warned voters before the election not to get their hopes up, and it has stood firm against the menace of optimism ever since."
"Just this week, Labour whipped its MPs to vote for the scrapping of the winter fuel allowance for all but the poorest pensioners, not long after those same MPs were barred from lifting the two-child limit on benefits."
"Labour has decided that Truss was not wrong about everything. She was right that the key that unlocks all else is economic growth."
"If they're right, this plan will not bear fruit immediately; there will need to be a strategy to tide Labour over in the interim."
