It's genuinely exhausting, this is the "sensible" politics they smashed the fuck out of the British electoral left for, I'd like to see *someone* take ownership of it.

Or, they're doing the same things but they lack the economic bubble to ride. Their sense of purpose looks pretty clear to me, the anti-immigration, the sacred fiscal rules etc. etc.

I bet these people smell a lot of burnt toast.

I know the internet is full of howling bullshit, but as someone who lived through it I absolutely cannot be arsed with the piss weak revisionism. Even the non-solution of ID cards is back. The long 90s never left.

You either, don't remember, are you young to know and fundamentally incurious or you're a liar if you pretend there's clear blue water between Starmer's Labour and New Labour. Mandelson slip your mind did he?

Someone even citing Robin Cook alongside Jack (won't have anyone cover their face in my surgery, "what rendition") Straw. What happened to Robin eh? Let's not look that up, I'm sure he was all good with New Lab.

No, it's an alliance of blairites and "old right". It is very much drawing from both.

Bad news for you, they are apeing new labour. We are here because of that era and it's long reach.

Home brew this one

It's 100% why they're going to get away with it. I hate to sound so cynical about it but it's flat out denying reality to assert otherwise.

I mean, the latest proposal is to rob refugees of what little they have at the border. Are you telling me that's not some of the most reactionary shit you've heard? Labour is a morally bankrupt party stuffed to the gunnels with ghouls.
