Ava doesn’t seem to know the history of Blue Labour so it would be waste of time asking
comment in response to post
I've found politicsjoe too populist-left but like Ava's genuine passion interest and curiosity. But some of those factual mistakes do reflect the website's single minded desire for eyeballs over factual reporting.

..and fiscally liberal. Torston Bell is also not an economic conservative, if we're talking conservatism since 1979.

This was good & Ava Santina is v good at taking the temperature of politics and&clearly immersed in it, but I don't agree that Blue Labour was started by McSweeney (Andrew politely mentioned Glassman) and wasn't a reaction to Corbyn's leadership victory, nor is it economically conservative..

I do really enjoy @dorianlynskey.bsky.social’s views on ā€˜big club policy’ Hinder’s nefarious hot takes, as we all ponder whether McSweeney is following stifled pragmatism or a tangible ideology.

This isn’t to miss out that labour voting coalition does include people of all cultures that have culturally conservative views.

Notable how far even President Trump himself has travelled on this. In January 2021 he said ā€œTo those who engaged in the acts of violence and destruction, you do not represent our country. And to those who broke the law, you will pay.ā€ Four years later, he pardoned them.

The labour conditions for construction workers (in particular) are appalling and if I had any interest in watching sport I'd really struggle with all the championships held in gulf monarchies.
