They could have cared even slightly about losing the progressive vote any time in the last 10 years, and they wouldn't have to fear it now that it's happening.

They even had a recent clear warning: at the last GE the Greens took some seats. The seal is broken; nobody can say Green is a wasted vote now.

That was the time to understand Labour's election win came not from moving right, but disgust with the Tories, and how fragile it'd be if their "Change" slogan was empty.

Keir Starmer's close team has shifted in gender terms to become more dominated by women; is this:

a recognition of the negative impact of the boy's club that preceded this shift, reflecting a perception that women do politics differently?

the usual introduction of females to a failing project so they can (now) share the blame?

something that requires no comment; its gender essentialism to think them being women makes a difference; its their political views that matter?
