Good afternoon. So that was the Labour manifesto – a rare political event at which the protagonist boasts about how little he has to say. “It’s not about rabbits out of a hat, not about pantomime,” Keir Starmer said of the lack of new policy proposals in the document. “I’m running as the candidate to be prime minister, not to run the circus.”
For all that, the manifesto tells us plenty about what a Labour government will look like. More on those clues, and whether or not David Cameron’s mother has wheels, after the headlines.
