I wouldn't take many conclusions from the last elections. A lot of labour votes were actually "not-tories" votes. They didn't agree with Labour, but it's still better than the status quo.

Yes, nevertheless, conclusions will be drawn. Anything that could possibly be described as a 'dementia tax' is now dead in the water. That probably includes the cross-party proposals, even though they are incredibly important.

Well, that shows that Labour can run with a more left-wing manifesto and still capture the please-no-more-Tories votes.
