I will take no lectures from you about my profile pal. Better to be in government making real changes than shouting from the sidelines. He is a good man. Come back in 4 years and tell me I’m wrong

Small beer wfa compared to the scale of progressive budget changes. He is certainly not supporting war crimes and yes, the manifesto had compromises but better to be in government than ethically pure and in the wilderness

FOM is the blocker I guess. While I think on balance it’s undoubtedly in our interest, I feel the public debate on this needs to be fought and won first.
