Breaking the tax pledge is the right call...and politically sulphurous. Reeves must argue, far more forcefully, that taxes are *the* essential downpayment we all pay for a fairer society.

Patrick is absolutely right that Labour lacks a sufficient intellectual culture - but instead of reading race-war Whatsapp essays from anonymous crackheads, Labour MPs should subscribe to @renewaljournal.bsky.social for serious and informed strategic analysis and argument

Yes, my guess is that while it would not be a perfect fit, the Main Panel PCE solution would work better at many places, and would also make it easier for many disciplines/subjects that have been restructured and/or had redundancies one or more times in this REF cycle to make a good submission.
