    Blue Labour statement We are now over a year into this government and it, like the country it is attempting to govern, is febrile and unsure of itself. Complacency and cynicism jostled for position at Labour’s annual conference, and though the government reasserted its authority

    Our view is that whipping MPs into voting against a national inquiry is a mistake that we will come to regret. This story is not going anywhere. The dam has broken — at long last. In the same way that the post office inquiry shed light on injustices and gave voice to their

    The deadline to vote in Labour's leadership election is tomorrow. There is no candidate we can endorse. None have grasped the scale of Labour's defeat or its meaning. 1/5

    Sold to a Chinese company in 2020. Shut down five years later. That is the reality of globalisation. There is no path to national security without domestic steel. We should nationalise British Steel, save the jobs, and reindustrialise our country.

    Our statement on the grooming gangs. Blue Labour supports the call for a national inquiry into the grooming and rape gangs. For many of us in Blue Labour, the left’s inability to face up to the awful reality of the organised grooming and rape of young girls by men of mostly

    Frank Field is a man of great integrity and is Labour through and through. He has fought poverty throughout this country all his life. To move to deselect him is totally and utterly wrong. Retweet to support Frank. #SupportFrank

    This is monstrous. We should not countenance anything similar in Britain.

    Welcome to the hundreds of new followers that have followed in the past 48 hours. A socialism which is economically radical and culturally conservative is the future of the Labour Party. New essays and analysis will be published over the next few weeks. Glad to have you with us.

    If the Sentencing Council won’t listen to democratically elected politicians, parliament must legislate to shut it down. The principle of equality before the law is non-negotiable.

    Tonight Dan Carden MP has spoken out on the rape and grooming gangs scandal. He is right to do so: the time has come to "challenge the orthodoxy of progressive liberal multiculturalism that led to authorities failing to act." This story is far from over. Read his full

    Labour abandoned the working class and now the favour has been returned; we can't say it hasn't been coming. It's a long way back. If there is hope, it lies with the rediscovery of our own radical tradition. 5/5

    The new rules cannot be justified. And how predictable that Labour can only acquiesce.

    Labour is lost. It is lost in England, lost in Scotland and looking more lost in Wales by the day. The Corbyn project completed the gentrification that began under New Labour and now we have lost touch with the language, culture and priorities of the working class. 2/5

    Just as we should not respond to the grooming gangs by focusing on the far right, we should not respond to the Southport horror by focusing on online shopping. No more deflection. It’s time to face our problems squarely.
