My Idea for Keir, from the New Statesman

Begin to appreciate that many of the problems the country faces are the product of implemented New Labour and Tory policies, not the lack of competence of the Tories. They got what they wanted done. Yet you have doubled down on their policies and practices – deregulation, welfare cuts, Brexit, encouraging corporate lobbyists, investing in carbon capture, sucking up to hard right-wing US governments, indulging genocide and aping their systematic mendacity. The result will be much the same, however much you talk about growth and fiscal rectitude. They did that too. It really is time for a change.
