''..This is a tough time to be a progressive in Britain, with the
re-election of a government that seems determined to dismantle the
progressive institutions that remain and to make inequality worse.
Labour’s renewal must be built on ideas, the most underrated commodity
in politics. Ideas create and sustain movements and inspire people – and
indeed voters – to join a cause. The right can’t solve the problem of
inequality because to do so would be to abandon too much of what they
believe, from a belief in the small state to trickle-down economics. The
deep injustices of modern capitalism compel us to find a better way of
living together. The left should approach the coming years with a
determination to renew itself but also with confidence in its values..''
