Liam Byrne would hardly be an obvious choice to do a policy review. After the last general election, he wrote about Labour's 2010 defeat purely in terms of the votes lost at that election.
The 4 million votes lost before then completely passed him by!
I do not see any 'new thinking' in the document about Britain's role in the world. Nuclear weapons are completely ignored and attacking other countries under the guise of protecting civilians is praised despite Iraq.
