I have a feeling that Kier Starmer is aware of this and might ( just might ) be starting to act upon it. Time will tell. Certainly talking about patriotism and whipping his mps to vote for the brexit deal signals a break from what has come before but attending diversity training and taking the knee were not good looks. The big problem that a post liberal outlook faces is that it requires nuance and a rejection of tribalism which, after years of polarisation in the brexit debate and the rise wokenness, is going to be a tall order. If I could vote for a blue labour then i would in a shot. As things stand at the moment I’m politically homeless.
…I’m Red Tory…which means as far as I can see that we are on the same side. The first thing we need to do is drop our tribal allegiances to any existing party, and vote for the one most likely to deliver what we want. In 2019, that was Boris…not necessarily because I wholly agree with him, but because whatever his many faults, I don’t doubt his patriotism…and the actions he has taken have boxed him in to a direction of travel I support…as evidenced by his indifference big business shrieking that the only solution to labour shortages is to import more cheap labour…
…might be the same again next time, unless Starmer really pulls his finger out…but I won’t be voting tribally, come what may.
