As for the "Old Labour Stuff" it is not in the manifesto nor published anywhere else. It is what the righties want us to believe, same with votes for 16s. I call it BS!
As for the 'black hole', it does exist and it does need tackling by Labour, even though it was created by the Conservatives.
Agree with the first and third. On the second, expectations are not manifesto promises, they are what people believe. We have seen pretty clearly that people believe some pretty amazing stuff. People were not expecting to hear fiscal responsibility and black hole. They were expecting to hear about the amazing pay rises, debt forgiveness and fixing of all those broken things that Labour has been going on about for a decade.
Surprise!
