As ever, perfect is the enemy of good. I find it sad how many people still don’t get that after all these years. They want a political purity that will never come. So they’d rather Labour lose as some kind of absurd proof that they’d have won had they taken the purity option. It’s the left-wing twin of the journey the Tories have been on.

Coupled with the points about rationality in policy, it was also interesting to see glimmers of something else recently. In the Commons, Streeting noted he had 72 pen pals regarding the NHS, and that he and Libs had worked together well in opposition – and would continue to do so.
I’m not naive enough to think we’ve seen the end of us vs them politics in this country. But that exchange felt like a crack in the dam.
