I’d argue we’re only just undersranding what damage Thatcher / Major actually did. Didn’t the Tories also leave the mess the other Healey inherited? Not to mention the last 14 years.

I think it's a problem that infests the whole of HMG. The higher education sector earns more foreign currency than the car industry but the government is actively damaging higher education.

"Who remembers Rachel Reeves?" Hmm. Let me think. Wasn't she the minister in charge of the DCMS before it was finally disbanded...?

This is so true

Do this year's unemployed graduates actually want to go into shipbuilding? Nah it's just a rumour that was spread around town.

Meaningful work (“I did/made that”) may be seen as nostalgic nonsense when it comes to ambition for a modern future, but it remains an engine for solidarity, identity and purpose in many communities now struggling in the extra-Westminster world - especially in the North. (Read Fiona Hill on this.)

Healey despises us. He knows it is workers who claim PIP. He knows - older workers blocked fr rejoining workforce & screened out of apprenticeships or upskilling, - disabled/old made redundant 1st. Dropping out of benefits they're entitled to due to fear of DWP so, not shown in ONS unemp stats!

Actually many of us Labour voters are happy with Burnham, his new way forward for politics and many of his current objectives….
