Labour’s future will be conservative

Labour has been unable to build up an intellectual hinterland to provide the resources for its political renewal.

After a decade of general election defeats, Labour struggles to define its politics.

All the elements for a new kind of Labour politics can be found in the speeches of Keir Starmer.

After decades of liberal domination of the economy, the country needs a more equitable balance of radicalism and conservatism.

Labour must find its own conservatism by drawing on its traditions and shaping them for this new period.

The future will be about stability and security, rebuilding the national economy, restoring and conserving things that matter to people.

The Conservatives have already begun while still in office, and Labour, after 13 years out of power, has not.
