Not that Labour as now led has anything other than 1970s answers.
If the last few years have demonstrated anything, it is that in many cases "1970s answers" have more to be said for them than the conventional wisdom since then has assumed.

Though I think it is an unfair assessment anyway, this years Labour manifesto was the first in our lifetimes to even float the idea of land taxation - potentially HUGE.

Forward bravely into the 1970s.

We'd be better off looking at other countries and seeing what works (and what doesn't).

One of the exciting things about the Corbynite Hard Left is that they aren't policy wonks. Not for them the dull careful evidence based policies of the Blairites. Enough of nerdery and worrying about markets.

An LVT is not a bad idea. A shame Labour's actual manifesto was as regressive as the Tory's.

Particularly silly tonight,the reclaiming,not least in thinking terms which was abandoned which has led to evidentially what hasn't worked,indeed made increasingly worse.

" The Chronically Sick & Disabled Persons Act (1970), transformed the lives of millions of disabled people in the UK and worldwide. It was the first legislation to recognise disabled people’s rights in areas as diverse as access, education, employment and mobility, and became the pattern for similar laws enacted throughout the world."

And indeed.if you read and kept up to date policy will be framed upon the very basis you state,crucially with input from those that would be affected.Granted parties always say such things or variations but given the reframing,not least in linguistic terms and obvious far more knowledgeable people overseeing,despite your generalisations that is the case in areas both comparative to the Tories and for some time in Labour,a retrieval in direction of travel,made harder of course because they have to also mend the damage by the thugs that have been in charge for far too long.
