Too many ‘moderate’ Tories
This media fixation with treating people like David Gauke and Gavin Williamson as independent analysts has to stop. The space for new political ideas has become so narrow in the last 14 years that the criteria to judge the performance of the government is overwhelmingly determined by rightwing figures. These people are NOT objective or moderate. They have a vested interest in the Conservatives succeeding and their incredibly caveated criticisms reflect this. I am also tired of listening to John Harris’s tedious contrarian attitude to Labour and Keir Starmer. He doesn’t take the time to listen to Starmer’s thoughtful speeches on social class. As Polly Toynbee so rightly said after the Lab conference, he doesn’t know what he wants.
