"Keir Starmer is abandoning so many pledges so quickly, it's sending a real message to people on the left – that they are no longer the party for things like improving child benefit policies, things like controlling rents. It will only be Green MPs arguing for these things in the next parliament, standing up for things like repealing the horrendous Public Order Act, which Labour wouldn't vote against. That does make our job easier in terms of getting elected. But it makes our job harder if we haven't got a decent government – it's concerning on a good-of-the-country level."
