#NewLabour hated Devolution. They only did it because they were more afraid of an independent Scotland, hobbling the assemblies with a better and fairer electoral system in the hope of ensuring continued Labour control. Didn't work with Holyrood and I hope the Senedd kicks the bastards out as well.
So no surprise #NewerLabour will try to thwart the wishes of the devolved regions.

"Lord #Mandelson is credited as one of the key architects of the #NewLabour movement, which came to power with Tony #Blair's election victory in 1997."
@GeofCox The most radical thing Blair did was to abandon any pretence of socialism or social democracy. Talk of "social enterprise" sounds great, but there was little or none of it. The mutual financial institutions were demutualised and wrecked. Public service ethos was denigrated, and local government left centralised, depowered, and undemocratic.
#NewLabour was neoliberalism. Its biggest achievement was PFI: turning public services into a permanent revenue stream
“[Labour] Party bigwig says New Labour led to ‘perversion & paedophilia’”
by Willem Moore
“As if this wasn’t bad enough, party rivals have now branded Blairism as the political wing of international paedophilia. There is no coming back from this”

"Peter #Mandelson told Jeffrey #Epstein that he was “trying hard” to change government policy on a bankers’ bonus tax; and appeared to recommend a fresh round of lobbying. The economic backdrop today is dramatically different from the depths of the banking crisis. But the clash between progressive policies and the powerful financial sector laid bare in the Epstein emails is still evident."

The political failure of #AnasSarwar is a joy to behold, a treat for the festive season. #ScottishLabour's gamble on loyal Starmerism has sunk them, and #SLAB is now reduced to just talking down Scotland: https://bellacaledonia.org.uk/2025/12/28/anas-sarwars-dream/
In #BellaCaledonia @BellaCaledonia, Mike Small's sharp focus has not been dulled by festivity. This line alone, about former #NewLabour minister Brian Wilson, is a highlight of 2025:
"Wilson writes, bristling with indignant complacency".
Take a bow, Mike 👍

#NewLabour project was to continue Labour's 70 years of exclusive control of the left in parliament, whilst dragging the Labour bloc firmly into Thatcherite territory and winning power for that milder Thatcherism with a light sprinkling of Labour vibe.
#NewLabour largely succeeded in both those goals. It governed for 13 years, and controlled Labour for 21 years (1994–2015).
