Today the Labour Party pivoted 180 degrees from the Corbyn era's more cautious arms length approach to the armed forces. Labour today actively celebrated Armed Forces day in two tweets, as well as through Facebook and other social media. The video is particularly clever in tying in left figures such as Tony Benn and Bevan into a more patriotic narrative. This shift along with the instant dismissal of Rebecca Long-Bailey, the last left-win member of the shadow cabinet, highlight that Keir presents a bigger change than some imagined. Keir clearly has his sights set on both soft Tory voters as well as in rebuilding the Red Wall. He appears to be willing to shift Labour considerably in order to win.
