Q: A caller said she forgot to baste every 10 minutes. I told her to serve the turkey anyway. Was I correct?
A: No. The turkey is merely the vehicle for the basting. People would rather suck on the end of a baster full of buttery juices than gnaw at some dry old wing. Bad call.

so from what I've read McSw wants Lab 2 succeed so badly (2 badly arguably) that he wants Lab 2 overtake Tories as the main 'party of gov' which means mimicking them over issues Lab don't usually go near (immigration/border control, crime prevention, over the top patriotism etc)
