Yeah, I remember this absolute train wreck of a government when I was in secondary school/university, and yelling "Sure Start!" every five minutes ignores everything else they did and how that disengaged millions and helped pave the chasm that led to the 2016 ref result.

Decent Homes is, of course, the perfect metonym. On the surface a good, and necessary policy with the potential to improve the lives of 'the many', in reality, Councils were incentivised to hive off housing stock to access the necessary funding for DH & super contractors boomed.

Yeah, I remember the reconfigure of benefits and the launch of "Jobcentre Plus" and the rise in benefit sanctions and anti-single mother feeling thanks to Labour as a kid, and Owen could rant forever about Pathfinder in Anfield et al.

What's odd is, there seem to be more Blairites now than there were then. There were always some Mandelson wannabes, including a few bodysnatched ex-leftists, but not that many. The Labour people I knew were more "yes, i's bollocks, but at least now we can get something done".

They think it's about Iraq because it's what the people they mix with mostly sort-of care about, in an abstract, finger-wagging, deep sighs, sort of way. But turnout reached a record low in 2001, months before 9/11 let alone Iraq. They are the problem they refuse to acknowledge.pic.twitter.com/6xvlY8hUXj
