Remember When The Bin Man Was Hard?
Labour MP Jon Cruddas has written the best approximation of what can be considered “Starmerism’s offer to British workers.” While some elements - eg a job guarantee - are better than nothing (but even then, run their own risk of rebuilding a modern workhouse depending on the shape of the policy), even at best, their desirability and strategy for achieving them are based on a vision of the economy that nobody under 70 would recognise as realistic. So come on an annoying journey through Blue Labour nostalgia for proper jobs, when the bin men were hard.

Satisfactory mentioned!
Me at 33 listening to "Can't Buy A Thrill": This is an attack. Accurate and hurtful.
You could print off a transcript of parts of this and just publish them, more or less as is. Tweet this out so we can share it!

That response to Bastani (and it is just Bastani, who sanitised an idea of "fully-automated luxury gay space communism" itself a comedic but earnest call for better conditions, and then tried to play it straight in both contexts) being entirely anticipated and countered by something *only a year younger than the ford plant he's using as a prelapsarian ideal* is some real brain genius shit that had me hooting and hollering http://www.zpub.com/notes/idle.html
