      Soubry’s opining about “tribalism” is disingenuous too but appeals to precisely the right media demographic. Of course politics is tribal, it involves the battle of one ideology against (at least) another, and championing one group over another.

      Pretending it isn’t, or that “evidence-based” policy exists, always prioritises bland managerialism over anything else, and that - surprise! - sustains the status quo, and does nothing to combat poverty and industrial decline.

          If you spend all day around politicians, it’s tempting to view all policies as benign since they’re perfectly civil to you. Good people can do bad things, but equally some politicians are just bad people, the lure of power often attracts bad people.

          Endlessly complaining about a lack of civility ignores the very real harm austerity does - it has literally killed people - and is such a one way street (“I am a crusading, impartial commentator, you are a Berniebro/Corbynista”). Politics is an angry field, by necessity.

          I'd say in some cases evidence-based policies do exist, but there isn't _an_ evidence-based policy for each area, simply because different people value different things. (see: reporting on the 'failure' of a basic income test run, because employment>happiness apparently)

          So, the govt's policies on benefits for disabled people are 'good' because they've resulted in better employment figures, when, like, the immense stress associated with UC/PIP etc, which has been a factor in actual deaths, is far more important when evaluating it (imo).

          'evidence based policy making' is great,as long as you acknowledge that the 'evidence' is *always* rooted in theory, ideas and perspective. For people who are a bit stupid, evidence ' means 'something that supports what I already believe' ie it is ideological

          You can use evidence to tell you which policy is best at acheiving a particular goal. You can't use evidence to tell you what your goals should be. That's what ideologies are for.
