    Are they going to reverse privatisation of the failing NHS,

    Not really, but they’ll stop speeding it up.

    failing water suppliers,

    Only partly and not very effectively, but they’ll strengthen regulation

    failing rail infrastructure, etc etc?

    Yes they will

    Are they going to stand up for unions,

    Partly in terms of legislation, but they’ll be terrified of picket lines and press coverage, so very little in terms of mood music.

    workers rights,

    Actually, yes, just not as much as we want

    and our rights to protest?

    I hope so.

    Are they going to begin the long slow process of rejoining the EU

    Absolutely not. But they might well strengthen common regulation and win concessions for trade with the single market.
