The "decline of trade unions" took place over a period that included 13 years of a Labour government which seemed quite happy with that trend.
Nef, I'm not sure about the scrotes wanting Labour to lose, if by that you mean permanently lose. They surely would want power in the long run but only as a Tory-lite party, which they would be happy to spend a decade in opposition creating.
I'm sure the leadership always knew the working class was fragmenting but it assumed those people would not vote Tory so could be ignored in favour of the middle class whom Blair attracted and coveted. The idea they'd vote fascist, and the Tories would go after the fascist vote, never occured to them because they still thought of the Tories as John Major's party not Norman Tebbit's.Last edited by Satchmo Distel; 09-04-2021, 10:54.

See also Miliband, E.
Clearly it has been determined by some focus group that a Labour leader should never sound as if he believes what he is saying for fear of coming across as slightly threatening.Last edited by Snake Plissken; 10-04-2021, 07:23.

This is the key point from Beckett's piece, and something chancers like Cruddas (along with most of the PLP and commentariat) don't want to address because of their mass gaslighting campaign towards a key part of Labour's vote:
But Cruddas’s book undermines itself by misrepresenting who the modern British left actually are. “Young urban educated cosmopolitan winners,” he writes, have “replaced the workers” as the left’s priority and main source of support. But today these urban radicals often are the workers: making drinks all day in cafes, riding delivery bikes in the rain. They may be well educated and cosmopolitan, but with poor wages and no job security, bad rented housing and student debt, they’re not our economy’s “winners”. Those are more likely to be found in what politicians and the media still reverently call the traditional working class – for example, the retired, formerly Labour-supporting property owners of the red wall.
Such new realities may be difficult for the Labour right to accept, having assumed for decades that the voters who matter are relatively conservative homeowners rather than 25-year-olds with blue hair. But Britain has changed a lot since Blairism’s glory days. And without a clear sense of those changes, Labour is doomed to continuing electoral underperformance, neither rightwing enough to take votes from the Tories nor radical enough to prevent defections to the Greens or leftwing Britons simply refusing to vote.

An average of 24 kids were given the name Keir each year in Scotland from 1974-2019, so it's not especially common, but not particularly rare either.

There's a "Keir Hardie Health Park" schmancy NHS building in Merthyr that's a base for local public health teams. You literally have to drive past a Pizza Hut, KFC and McDonald's on the road up to it off the A470. I'm not making this up.

I mean, I'd reluctantly understand Starmer tweeting some respectful tribute to Philip on his death in his formal capacity as Leader of the Opposition, etc. But talk about going the extra five fawning miles. This is just drivel and in his forensic heart he must know it. What's more, the people he's trying to impress are probably quite capable of smelling his bullshit.
