Labour needs a new way of talking about the economy
Like the Labour Together report into why Labour was demolished in 2019, the Mind the Values Gap research released this week makes clear the huge challenge facing the Labour Party.
Labour has to thread a needle. It must offer a change in the economic circumstances of most people’s lives without sounding like its unrealistic election manifesto. It also needs to institute systemic change, and not be prevented from doing so by cultural issues, while also recognising that any meaningful change must take into account systemic and institutionalised racial and sexual inequality.
