Kinnock called himself the former; Shirley Williams would be a good example of the latter.What is the difference between the two?

Your style of engagement doesn’t really invite that kind of response.
Preview of the last part of the AJ documentary - two members of the Labour right messaging each other about Shami Chakrabarti:
Tracey's use of the brown face emoji is a nice touch.
Ian McNicol is now a Labour lord (sadly, the price Corbyn had to pay to get rid of him and install his own preferred general secretary).
Racist scum, basically.
I asked what the difference between the two philosophies wasKinnock called himself the former; Shirley Williams would be a good example of the latter.
Hmm:Wow, he’s proposing nationalising energy! Wasn’t expecting that! The bloody Corbynite!

He seems to be saying that he'd set up a new company in competition with the big players with foreign backing. That's far from being the same thing..

I'm wondering just how broken the Tories will have to make Britain before some of the posters on this thread accept that
- Things were really somewhat better under Blair & Brown (aside from the wars, of course)
- The only realistic way of getting the Tories out of power is to vote tactically, which will mean voting for the Labour candidate if they are most likely to win in your constituency.
I held my nose and voted for Biden and the Democrats - and thank f*ck so did a lot of other American lefties.
Of course they're better than the Tories but it's pretty marginal
We won't know unless / until they win the next election (please), but the Blair years were not marginally better than the Thatcher / Major years - they were a LOT better. The NHS was rebuilt, education was re-funded, and while the inequality gap was not closed it did not grow in the same way as it had under the Tories:
Yes, under FPTP we need an army of tactical voters to throw off the yoke of Tory rule.Let's not let the best be the enemy of the good. Hold your nose, if necessary, but get out and vote for whoever will oust the Tories near you. We can't fix the building until we've put the fire out.
