There is a kind of poetry in Ed Miliband’s magnum opus coming out at the present time. Along with Hartlepool and swathes of the north and Midlands, Labour has lost control of Durham County Council, which it had held since 1919. Miliband’s own Doncaster North Westminster seat is at risk. Keir Starmer’s pursuit of a fictitious centre ground has led the party into a blind alley. Labour desperately needs new thinking. Yet at this moment of crisis, Miliband has come forward with a restatement of progressive orthodoxy. Renewing his previous stance on the issue in 2011, Miliband criticised Rupert Murdoch's bid to takeover telecommunications company Sky in December 2016, subsequently supporting an inquiry by Ofcom.

The Englishman is a rabid nationalist. They are perhaps the most nationalist people in the world ... When you hear the English talk of this war you sometimes almost want them to lose it to show them how things are. They have the greatest contempt for the continent in general and for the French in particular. They didn't like the French before the defeat ... Since the defeat, they have the greatest contempt for the French Army ... England first. This slogan is taken for granted by the English people as a whole.

Blair is also right when he targets wokeish posturing as an obstacle to any Labour recovery. If you have lost the political battle and have a mounting dread of becoming irrelevant, wittering on about the awfulness of flag-waving may be therapeutic. (To his credit, Miliband never descends to this sort of attitudinising.) The trouble is that voters are not stupid. Few will warm to a party they suspect looks down on them as hopelessly naff. But such defeatism is not just pessimistic but plain wrong. It misunderstands the reality of the scale of the opportunity presented by the biggest transformation of the global economy in 300 years.
