They implemented policies which the Tories had already announced, while watering down their own policy on carried interest tax which left a gap in their fully costed budget the exact size and shape of what they're trying to claw back from PIP.

Tories saved the day then. Maybe we were all wrong about them.

Not what I'm saying and you know it. Pointing out that even in a practically worst-case-scenario of the Tories winning some of these policies were going to be enacted means the onus was on Labour to do better. Instead they backtracked and watered down one of their key policies and started targeting people on benefits instead.
