The reason @Ed_Miliband rattled the Tories y'day? He spoke to a narrative: Johnson is a lazy amateur who doesn't give a sh*t. As parents scramble for tests that don't exist, that has to be Labour's message ... but you can't duck Brexit..1/ newstatesman.com/politics/uk/20…
2/ The Tories will go on saying "get Brexit done" until it's done. But it won't be over. No social-democratic party whose base is susceptible to Libdems, Greens and SNP could rest content with No Deal.... newstatesman.com/politics/uk/20…
3/ There is a broad social coalition for a trade deal that leaves us close to Europe. Support for autarky among the elite is narrow. newstatesman.com/politics/uk/20…
4/ But Labour needs a positive offer beyond a critique of the government on Covid-19. A vision of Britain, and its place in the world is what the reactionary part of society has. We need to fight for a progressive alternative. newstatesman.com/politics/uk/20…
