Changing the DNA of New Labour


This is an interesting speech from Brendan Barber the TUC top-cheese, it’s been around for a few days but I wanted to share it on here so you all had a chance to read it.

 

It’s a really spot-on analysis of what’s wrong with the party and its good to see someone at the top of our movement making the case for change in a sensible and reasonable way.  Have a read of it here.

    A good read indeed.

    “Triangulation is a dangerous weapon.

    You can only run against your own past for so long before you end up undermining some of your most elemental values.

    Emphasising constant change means you risk destroying the good as well as the bad.

    You end up fetishising the new, and losing the labour.”
