But let's not talk about the overton window as if its movement is an autonomous fact - it is moved by presentation and policies - and propaganda. Had Labour not been captured by the 'focus group' mindset - following rather than leading public opinion - the window's movement right could easily have been halted, and reversed. The facts that Corbyn did reverse the decline in Labour votes, and almost won in 2017, and that the Greens just won their first byelection, shows that the triangulation of Labour spin-doctors is weaker than an honestly held and clearly stated political position.

@grb090423 @ZackPolanski The surge in support for the Green Party in the UK is a very good thing given the current state of things.

I’d go so far to say it is the best thing that’s happened in the last two decades of UK politics.

More people are willing to Vote Green in our FPTP system which only bodes well for the UK three years out from the next GE.

I thought that was already their strategy, not that its working particularly well for them

Labour's problem is that having ditched Corbyn's mass-membership funding model - actually passing much of that membership and fund-raising income over to the Green Party - and also losing input from the wider labour movement - Labour has nowhere to go other than big business.
