Jon Cruddas is right: Labour must beware the dead hand | Owen Jones | Comment is free | The Guardian

"Cheerleaders of Britain's stifling, failed political consensus will
portray those who want Labour to break from it as fringe elements.
Moderates, you see, are those who support a system that has left a
million people dependent on food banks in the sixth-richest country on
earth, produced the longest fall in living standards since Queen
Victoria and built a nation where most people in poverty are in work.
But it will be a coherent and inspiring alternative, not gimmicks, that
will deliver Labour electoral victory."
