People change.

What was he then early 30s?...and I don't doubt quite a few were sucked in by the bright new world of Blair.

He had to junior minister roles in that time.

As an example I think it was him that was in charge of implementing the ID cards act way back when. Yet the other day he abolishes any modern policy on bringing them in. So are they a good idea or bad idea Andy?. It would be interesting to know his reasons, but in simple terms he's changed his mind on them.

Hmmm…I’d admire your faith in his good nature. His actions over the last few months have me doubting that tbh.

Not sure about 'faith in his good nature'.

Just the fact people (not everybody I'd add) can change as they age.

Experience is the best teacher, and all that.

I know a few people who have met him and know him well. And he's genuinely a kind person according to them. He's fair and compassionate.

However the job can make a monster out of angel in the pulbic eyes.

I'm really hopeful though.

And he is using the same marketing team as Mamdani.

Good PR goes a long way. But I fear it is an impossible job at this point.

We need to luck into someone that is the complete package, someone that cuts thru. They absolutely need good policies to go with it, and they'll have to be bold in that area as well. As tinkering or looking different but still hamstrung by the same old brick will end they same way.

And the changes we need could well be a 10 year path, so it's going to require someone special.

I think many at this point aren't concerned with the party, it's the person we need.

So many ways it could fail though, sadly.

(Bit pessimistic that last sentence, soz:))
