If Britain is copying Oz (which seems to be the playbook at the moment), then Labour will promise to maintain whatever bonkers neoliberal tax traps are brought in by the tories - to avoid controversy amongst swing voters - but will then start tossing things out when the actual time comes - on the basis that it’s better to be right and accused of flip flopping than to stick to commitments that are harmful for the electorate.
