"It Is Also a Mistake to Pit Elements of the Working Class Against Each Other"

"While advocates of identity politics have unarguably good intentions, the delivery of the message has been lost, and has often left us defending the liberal status quo.
"The idea that capitalism can be made OK if we only make the 10 people sitting around the boardroom table creaming profits from the workers, female, BAME, or LGBTQ+ is a bogus one.
"By ignoring the very real need for sweeping socialist economic reform, we are hurting these groups of people most of all, since oppressed or marginalised groups are hardest hit by capitalism."

Beck Robertson at Morning Star argues that the Labour Party's problem is "identity politics and its role in the perception of the party as a vehicle for middle-class Islingtonites."
