I wouldn't call Labour neo-liberal. Certainly centre-left at best though. Their manifesto for the last election was about things like transfers to the poor and centre-left stuff like that.

After sabotaging the SPD/Linke coalition in NRW for absolutely no gain?

After preferring a Grand Coalition over an SPD/Linke coalition at the federal level?

No, not really.
