We are now over a year into this government and it, like the country it is attempting to govern, is febrile and unsure of itself. Complacency and cynicism jostled for position at Labour’s annual conference, and though the government reasserted its authority, the country will not be so easily soothed

"I am Labour, and I am Blue Labour because I believe politics must once again be rooted in responsibility, contribution and the courage to confront difficult truths."
