There's no such place as a socialist utopia if you insist on putting it inside a communist box .

There's a place for social policies paid out of taxation that run alongside capitalism that are funded and fit for purpose .

It's open to debate as to the depth of those social policies .

Blair's working tax credits were one example , nationalising the railways is another one but possibly a little more debatable for many .

The general idea is to try and distribute wealth more evenly than simply leaving everything to the market forces to decide .

Mike Ashley = billionaire = a workforce on minimum wage and ZHC isn't an acceptable thing in my own personal view .

Any comment on the EU Romanian fruit pickers Fire ?

I thought the threshold for EU migrants was £26k pa these days .

I sincerely hope your man is going to stick to the script , the heartlands didn't vote for that .
