That's what we have to pray for really.

John Pienaar was making the point last night on BBC News that some of her pledges so far have been quite centrist - certainly the energy bill announcement is no friend of big business and was plucked pretty much straight of Ed Miliband's playbook in 2015.

He also said that this curious breadth of announcements (Fox hunting and energy capping) basically suggests that she's trying to shore up votes in almost every demographic.

Stepping back from the partisan... this is an absolutely remarkable indictment of Corbyn and reflect's the Tory view that they can genuinely eat in to Labour heartlands.
