Starmer will inherit far worse than Blair – and will do nothing to improve it
War, austerity and authoritarianism will be the dominant features of a Starmer-led government.
Popular resistance to that seems almost inevitable.

Popular resistance to that seems almost inevitable.
Labour is tying itself to the US war machine and the economics of the new Cold War.
It will add to insecurity.
The Labour leadership’s suspension of Diane Abbott as a Labour MP is a blatantly factional move against a leading left critic of Starmer. She should be reinstated now.
The resistance to the Tories offensive being led by the unions and the increasing orientation of Labour’s left wing members to this strike wave is encouraging a radicalisation within Labour.
The left suffered a set back in the NEC elections. Momentum divided the left and attacked one of its most popular candidates, instead of joining a campaign to unite the left against the right.
The Tory leadership candidates are agreed on all essentials of policy. They are both believers in a small state, which means they are intent on further cuts to public services, outsourcing and privatisation. They also agree on a commitment to outlaw strikes. There is only a furious debate on the tactical issue of when to implement tax cuts.
