    To think there was a time Labour was pretty respectable given its place in the Lion’s Den of capitalism. It even had a mini-revival under social democratic Jeremy Corbin.

    tory was praising her too

    Every moment of meaningful change in modern British politics begins with the realisation that politics must act in service of the British people, rather than dictating to them. Margaret Thatcher sought to drag Britain out of its stupor by setting loose our natural entrepreneurialism. Tony Blair reimagined a stale, outdated Labour Party into one that could seize the optimism of the late 90s. A century ago, Clement Attlee wrote that Labour must be a party of duty and patriotism, not abstract theory. To build a “New Jerusalem” meant first casting off the mind-forged manacles. That lesson is as true today as it was then.

    Attlee created the British welfare state, Thatcher and Blair dismantled it. centrist

      How the fuck anyone managed to type those two things one after another?

      optimism of the late 90s

      I’m starting to see a pattern here

      To build a “New Jerusalem”

      Yup, inoperable.

    This has the same vibe as Homer’s re-interview with the Germans

    “You’ve been Shadow Chancellor for 3 years. What initiatives have you spearheaded in that time?”

    “Uh, all of them?..”

    “I see…then you must have some good ideas for the future as well?”

    “I sure do!”

    “…”

    “Such as?”

    “Well, uh, I wish the workers wouldn’t be so whiny about us taking all their money…Because, a lot of capitalists really like money…”

    Late in 2002 Lady Thatcher came to Hampshire to speak at a dinner for me. Taking her round at the reception one of the guests asked her what was her greatest achievement. She replied, "Tony Blair Keir Starmer and New Labour. We forced our opponents to change their minds. They’re literally just Conservatives now "

    I think of “Thatcher’s decade of national renewal” in the same way I think of “Hitler’s thousand year Reich”.
