BACK in December, I suggested Labour would drop its committment to water nationalisation.
All the signs are there, but we are still waiting for the other shoe to drop — Labour’s leadership are caught between their urge to purge the party of any left-wing commitments, and their inability to argue for things with clarity and determination.
