The twin disasters of Iraq and the financial crisis created an appetite in Labour for “real socialism”
THIS HAS been the oddest party-conference season in living memory. The Labour Party’s annual get-together, held in a rainy Brighton on September 21th-24th, was brought to a premature end by the Supreme Court decision that the government’s prorogation of Parliament was unlawful. Jeremy Corbyn gave his leader’s speech a day early and returned to Parliament in order to grill the government.
Mr Milne is the more conventional of the two, as an establishment-hating member of the British establishment. He is part of a long line of British radicals who have lived in the bosom of the British ruling class—his father was director-general of the BBC and he was educated at Winchester and Balliol before working on Fleet Street—while denouncing the establishment for every sin under the sun. His views are equally old-hat: whatever the establishment is for, he is against it.
Mr Cummings is also much more of an original thinker than Mr Milne. He has constructed his own idiosyncratic philosophy, whereas Mr Milne serves up neo-Marxist pap. A reading of Mr Cummings’ lengthy blog-posts reveals a restless mind grappling with a whirlwind of change. One moment he is meditating on whether artificial intelligence will produce a high-tech millennium. The next he is praising Singapore’s education system. The next he is spinning out ideas about a British space programme.
