A “progressive” recently shared this with me. I don’t like it I dislike right wing populism because it “others” immigrants and cultural elites I also dislike left wing populism, which “others” people due to their economic status Both are equally nasty perspectives. That is why I am a centrist.

Quick thoughts on the Rayner resignation: 1. She’s a genuine political talent and I hope she returns to govt soon 2. She should have resigned much earlier. By hanging on she damaged herself and Starmer 3. Our tax code is a mess. Reeves needs to reform and simplify … starting with stamp duty.

The basis exists for a centre-left coalition to win in 2029 - but Labour must now cease its tribalism & acknowledge that it has failed to govern the country on 33% of the vote. Building a progressive coalition will take time and perhaps a new Labour leader if Starmer can’t see or accept that.
