The typical contemporary Labour MP is almost certain to be a
university-educated Europhile who is more comfortable in the leafy
enclaves of north London than the party's historic heartlands. As a
result, Labour has become radically out of step with the culture
and values of working-class Britain. Drawing on his background as a
firefighter and trade unionist from Dagenham, Paul Embery argues
that this disconnect has been inevitable since the Left political
establishment swallowed a poisonous brew of economic and social
liberalism. They have come to despise traditional working-class
values of patriotism, family and faith and instead embraced
globalisation, rapid demographic change and a toxic, divisive brand
of identity politics. Embery contends that the Left can only revive
if it speaks once again to the priorities of working-class people
by combining socialist economics with the cultural politics of
belonging, place and community. No one who wants to really
understand why our politics has become so dysfunctional and what
the Left can do to fix it can afford to miss this authentic,
insightful and passionate book.
