Daily: How to SAVE LABOUR — A blueprint for a winning machine with economist James Meadway

With Labour still longing for victories past, where should the party go next? And why are the Tories so much better at dealing with defeat? Former Shadow Economic Advisor and Director of the Progressive Economy Forum James Meadway talks to Dorian Lynskey about prioritising concrete concerns over culture wars, whether Labour will ever win a majority again, and why working in the Shadow Cabinet was one of his worst jobs…

• “The Tories are very good at dusting themselves down and working out what to do next.”

• “Labour needs to say to voters, ‘This is how your life would be better if you voted Labour’.”

• “The focus should be on how you get middle class voters to vote Labour instead of Tory.”

• “If you try to reproduce policy tricks and electoral victories, you get negative returns.”
