Blue Labour @blue-labour.bsky.social · Jan 11
We are now over a year into this government and it, like the country it is attempting to govern, is febrile and unsure of itself. Complacency and cynicism jostled for position at Labour’s annual conference, and though the government reasserted its authority, the country will not be so easily soothed

“No wonder the public are sick of us all."

Superb from @markmcvitie.bsky.social on Peter Mandelson and the moral decay of Westminster.

This week exposed the moral and intellectual rot at the heart of our party. Glib arrogance, vicious court gossip and a culture of conformity. A willingness to look the other way for factional reasons, blind to how it looks to the outside world.

"To govern without an overarching vision in a disorientating age is a profound mistake."

As we wrote in November, the central machinery of the party lacks clarity and direction. That is why they have resorted to administrative and procedural methods to block Andy Burnham. It is a profound mistake.

Fantastic article from @preetkgillmp.bsky.social

"I am Labour, and I am Blue Labour because I believe politics must once again be rooted in responsibility, contribution and the courage to confront difficult truths."

Labour must go blue
The party must recover the kind of moral seriousness displayed by Shabana Mahmood if it is to govern well

The US’ recent actions show the fragility of the international order, and should serve as a wake-up call: international law is not enough on its own. Defending sovereignty requires hard power. For Britain, that begins with the rebuilding of our industrial and military strength.

“In a world that increasingly operates on a might-is-right logic, those without hard power do not get a vote."

@dancardenmp.bsky.social is right on the lessons from Venezuela.
