Great post. I've been happy to let Starmer try to wrap progressive policies in the flag to see how it'll land. We know how it'll land now. It won't. Retired ex-working class people with their own homes will vote for Tories instead. Why would they vote for a copy when they can vote for the original?
Starmer was the progressive/soft left/remain candidate. He needs to start dancing with the people who brought him. Labour's new heartlands are not Hartlepool and no amount of flag waving will bring them back. Labour's new heartlands are the cities. Represent us. Stop prevaricating and start talking about the damage this culture war is doing. Stop harking back to a working class that doesn't exist any more. Help the working class which does exist.
