So what can be done to reignite Labour Party members and avoid self-combustion? We need to be talking of positive policies which improve people’s lives and will show Labour at its best. We have been in power for 10 years and it’s time to take stock. We must look at which policies have worked and which have not; we must look at what the public wants. We must move on from Blairite policies on ID cards, Trident missiles and futile wars with astronomical costs. The need for affordable housing and a national council house building programme remains. We must be seen to be “moving forward” on issues like carbon neutral housing, flooding, cliff erosion and seabed change. These are problems we encounter with constituents week in and week out.
