Andy Burnham's conference speech: A new Britain begins (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Today we draw a line on a decade of division,” Andy Burnham told Labour conference in his first speech as leader on Tuesday. He meant the country, with its succession of seven prime ministers over the last ten years, but the PM might just as well have been talking about the Labour Party. Since 2016, Labour has swung from left to right and now ended up here, with a feel-good conference speech packed full of policy announcements from the soft left middle of the party (proponents call it the “hear
Wes Streeting’s Blue Labour turn (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Wes Streeting is a man liberated. This is the first Labour conference in a number of years when he has not been touted by journalists as a potential leadership contender.

That’s just one of the eye-catching proposals in a planned overhaul of the party’s economic policy, to be voted on by members at their conference in October and seen by the New Statesman. The motion, which gives the most thorough outline yet of how a Green government would manage the British economy, embraces a range of novel ideas and would mark a seismic break with the fiscal and monetary
Tax: the new front in the Reform-Tory war (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why vote Tory but not Reform? Why vote Reform but not Tory? These questions are of growing relevance to British politics the closer we get to a general election. There was a time not long ago when political commentators would happily add up the polling score for both parties, get a number in the high forties, and confidently declare that the future of British politics belonged to the right. But it has become ever clearer that the two voting groups are not interchangeable. A significant and growi
