And made Liz Kendall look even more of a clown in the process (the latest changes/concessions completely undermine most of her pitch earlier in the day).

This is a failure of policy, party management, and having a narrative (controlled or not). Shambles!
Haven’t they just. Leave the yah boo stuff to one side, the politics and management of it all has been abysmal, to the extent that there are still plenty of rebels not supporting their party and the policy has just become a joke. I used to think that the last Government was the worst one I’ve seen at the art of politics, but this lot are probably worse.
