    I actually think the caution is a good thing, overall. Look what happened to Theresa May’s poll lead in 2017! Absolutely terrifying prospect that could happen to Labour.

    Having said that… dropping the £28bn pledge is too cautious. May got sunk by incautiously launching a new policy during the campaign. Labour’s green industrial pledge clearly isn’t damaging them in the polls, so why water it down? I don’t think it could damage them. People know Labour will spend money and we want them to do it!
