You can’t beat a bit of populism Glyn, especially to motivate the foot soldiers as we prepare for a GE. Particularly important against the background of whining centrist Labour MPs. We will win more MPs despite their best endeavours

it's dangerous because it reinforces an anti-politics narrative which can erode people's faith in democratic institutions etc ! so take what you shared: this idea that you are either with us or against us ? do you think that's healthy for a political project ?

i would , as a fellow lefty, reject the idea that we have to be anti the 1% in order to be for the 99%
