What are the big ideas? Labour today has no narrative on how life changes for the better. The fiscal rules strangle every big idea & public service. As the dead hand of the Treasury kills off new ways of thinking. Convince me that anything Blue Labour offers is unique.

They need to have a serious look at their electoral strategies as well. Lib Dems and Greens got an average of 13% between them in the seats that will matter to Nigel Farage being Prime Minister after the next election. Why would they stand there again? https://youtu.be/YItdVsMriMs

Thing is; during Referendum debates Remain had to defend the status quo against 'sunlit uplands and unicorns'.
Shoe is now on the other foot
Brexit is the status quo
and it's sh!te.

The report (https://ippr-org.files.svdcdn.com/production/Downloads/Facing-the-future-May-25.pdf?dm=1747910069) argues that progressive parties should not look to ape the populist right - that “only boosts their opponents’ brand and heightens the divisions they flourish on”

Sorry, but David Miliband is history. Every year he pontificates from America on some issue or other he is not expert in but after 15 years it’s his brother Ed that is worth listening to, not him.
