Understanding the New Shadow Cabinet
JVL Introduction
A Very Public Sociologist provides thoughtful reflections on Keir Starmer’s new cabinet, trying to make sense of who is in and who is out.
He concludes:
“Overall though, folks claiming this is a neoliberal or Blairist restoration are wide of the mark. The left are right to harbour serious concerns about Keir Starmer, and his commitment to a Corbynish platform during the election probably owes more to positioning than genuine enthusiasm, but the politics of what we’re seeing is a return to soft left Fabianism.”

I resigned from the party yesterday. This is hopeless. Real change requires structural reform. I won’t be voting Labour next time
I too am going to ‘resign’ by supporting anti Israeli government individuals who have been suspended or removed by the mirage of equating anti-semitism with anti-zionism. A longer winded way of resigning I know.
