The story of the Labour Party: From Foot to Starmer Most important point here is the tragedy of the 1992 election. If it had been won, we could have demonstrated that a soft-left party can triumph. Because it was lost, a view took hold that centrism was the height of progressive ambition.

The final chapter, from 1979 to the present

I left the Tabernacle after @originstorypodcast.bsky.social live entertained, educated and one nudge closer to lighting a metaphorical bonfire under British politics. A big thank you to @iandunt.bsky.social and @dorianlynskey.bsky.social for an evening that was far too stimulating for a weekday.

Last night’s live edition of @originstorypodcast.bsky.social was a real gem. @dorianlynskey.bsky.social & @iandunt.bsky.social were on coruscating form. Their brutal takedowns of unhinged right-wing oddballs James Orr (UK) & Curtis Yarvin (US) were a special highlight. Gentlemen, thank you both.
