Yeah, I mean, I think that they should be doing a better job of that because if you guys can't do it, then there's a problem because I'm guessing that you're more hooked in than most people. You know what I mean? But I think that can be done. I think there is a story to tell there.

I think most of the time when you read Starmer talking, you know, whether it's in the book about him, which sort of was almost half ghostwritten, you know, that came out of the Don Baldwin book, or whether it's in his speeches, what's the word that comes up most? It's dignity. Mm-hmm.

And at first I kind of ignored that word dignity because I was just like, that just sounds like some kind of fluffy hallmarks, vacuous, non-political, you know, who's against dignity, right? Everyone likes that. And then I noticed that the way he uses it is kind of, it's in a way that kind of combines liberalism and socialism in a way. It's like, what is dignity at work?

Is it to have autonomy over your life? What is dignity in the way that you're treated when you're in a hospital ward? You know, what is dignity, even in the manner of like being a passenger on a train?

Like, actually, if you just start thinking that the words that the left would use for equality and the words that liberals would use for freedom, he just seems to be using the word dignity for most of these at work, in your life, in health care. I think you start to get a picture of how he works.

Economically, I don't think you put him and Reeves together, Rachel Reeves, and there's actually like a really coherent, interesting program there. Primarily, what fascinates me about it is that it's so much more left-wing than Tony Blair, and yet no one seems to talk about it. Everyone acts like Starmer is just Blair, right? It's just another Blair-y kind of, the Blair-y vibes.

when actually almost everything they say is about market failure. So state intervention in the market to correct for market failure. That's what it is for fixing the labor markets, you know, kind of delivery jobs and whatever. That's what it is when it comes to climate change. It's been the markets and providing the solutions. We're going to have to get in there and do it ourselves.

That's what it comes to providing security in the economy to try and address some of the boom and bust problems that we've had over and over again. I feel like That is a narrative. It's actually a pretty left-wing narrative, more left-wing than anything we've had in this country since before Margaret Thatcher. And yet that storyline just kind of isn't being told.

I think the things that I say can be fitted in a form of centrism. But there's different kinds, right?

What is it? I've got no idea. I don't know. If you don't know, who the fuck knows? I don't think anybody does. I started, like, at the beginning, I was just like, I've always hated that word because I just always thought it sounded really slippery. And I kind of had this impression of, well, if your job is just to sort of stay in the middle of two competing things, what are you, right?
