    Very Britain-centric news; I wish c/worldnews were more specifically global relevant.

    As for the article, it’s a shame it doesn’t address all of the 10 pledges and whether or not they’re being honoured in current Labour policy.

    It also doesn’t do a very good job of analysing the pledges that it does include. Regarding income tax - is current Labour policy to not increase income tax on highest earners (or preferably, CGT/land value tax or something that more effectively targets the most wealthy)? The way the article quoted Reeves kind of felt a bit word twisty, but I’m not sure whether that was accidental or deliberate.

      To be fair us brits are used to almost every single news community being very US centric

        Yes, but then it’s a bit hypocritical if we don’t point out when something isn’t globally-relevant just because it’s Britain-relevant.
