A simple search "starmer u-turns" quickly turned up this - there are several others to chose from!

Bluntly - politicians in opposition are impotent. They will sacrifice integrity in pursuit of power. In this Labour are no different to the Tories - but the levers they can pull are inevitably different.
Labour are currently evasive about actual policy commitments, preferring to sit on the side-lines and criticise.
Tories want some real policies to criticise, and there is little point in drawing attention to policy vacillation until an election is in sight.
I do not expect a Tory victory at the next election - tactics will only impact the size of loss.
