A good article as ever, I don't envy Starmer's job but the speech was good, you are bang on regarding the radical left, more about holding the high ground in their own circles than changing lives for the better. The one issue I always have is with the Blair government. Living in a place decimated by the Thatcher years I have always felt that a three-term Labour government could and should have done much more than they achieved in terms of regeneration or in today's language levelling up , Locally there is a feeling that Labour took places like ours for granted during those years and is one reason for the red wall , though not the only one
Thank you Emma!!
