Real Labour or Blair renewed?

July 3, 2026

Corbyn is right, of course, particularly in relation to responsibility in supporting genocide and the rapidly increasing pace of the decline of the UK as a state that cares about its people. The question is, is anyone in the state apparatus listening? I think we all know the answer to that as it is evident in the hall of mirrors in which the British political and bureaucratic classes live.

They continue in the enduring British presumption that they any longer matter as they rapidly become irrelevant to the future. The shared belief that they still reflect an importance to the world that has long since escaped them though – a self induced empire decline and fall, means they continue to posture upon the world stage as an important military power as their economy, military and society disintegrate and their people increasingly seek to leave.

Corbyn accurately identifies their problems but is skeptical of their ability to deal with them. I share that skepticism!!
