Lord Maurice Glasman is the party bigwig behind the Blue Labour movement. To be honest, we’re not much of a fan of his. Credit where it’s due, though; he’s delivered what may be the greatest MSM takedown of New Labour yet:
Lord Maurice Glasman just gave the wildest political interview I've seen in a long time on Sky News.

Please be aware that the above should read “perversion and paedophilia”, although it’s bad however you hear it.
It’s over
At this point, it seems that New Labour is finished as a viable political entity within the larger party. We say that because:
- The police are investigating Peter Mandelson.
- Starmer’s chief of staff Morgan McSweeney just resigned in disgrace.
- Starmer himself will surely be next.
- Britons view Tony Blair like the residents of Elm Street view Freddy Krueger.
- The loathed Digital ID scheme is dead in the water.
As if this wasn’t bad enough, party rivals have now branded Blairism as the political wing of international paedophilia.
There is no coming back from this.
Blue Labour
In 2020, Steve Topple described Blue Labour as follows:
a concept founded by Maurice Glasman based on socially conservative values of ‘family, faith and flag’ but more socialist economic policies. It is rooted in the values that Glasman perceived existed in the party pre-WWII.
On 6 February, Blue Labour put out the following statement:
This week exposed the moral and intellectual rot at the heart of our party. Glib arrogance, vicious court gossip and a culture of conformity. A willingness to look the other way for factional reasons, blind to how it looks to the outside world.
And for what? In the careerist scramble for a brief moment in the limelight all imagination and curiosity are crushed, and so we are left empty of ideas and empty of soul.
How far we have fallen as a party. This must be the end of New Labour.
At the same time, let’s be real; Blue Labour aren’t a viable alternative.
As activist Alan Gibbons highlighted, Glasman described Morgan McSweeney as “one of ours”. McSweeney is the worst of the worst, so if he’s one of theirs, that doesn’t say much about them.

Close Down the House of Lords Forever Make everyone of them Pay Back every Penny They Have Cheated the Tax Payers out Of, The same must Happen to Westminster it is a Den of iniquity full of Corruption Liars and Thieves, This Ancient Monument should be turned into a Museum and Theatre which should host Plays and Dramas on How Not To Run A Country, There is Land at Hackney Marshes or the Elephant and Castle or even Watford to Build a Smaller Newer House of English Parliament, The Majority of the Political Elite in England consider themselves above the LAW, They care nothing for The People of England and even Less for the People of the rest of the UK they just treat us like Mushrooms Keep Us in The Dark and Feed Us A Lot of Shite! Close the Whole Rotten Establishment Down and Make A Fresh Start, You the People of England Deserve Better.
Agree with most of what Patrick writes but would propose that Birmingham would be a better location for new Houses of Parliament. Two new wholly elected bodies.
When they are stuck in London they have a tendency to forget about the rest of the country. At least Birmingham is fairly centrally located.
