Now hovering around the lower reaches of the Murdoch papers and Sky right when the whole edifice is about to collapse. Used to be the fundamentally sound Labour Catholic that his name suggested, could have been right at the heart of the postliberal order if he had stuck with its prophet whom fate had made his tutor.

A gathering of the coming Court Party as it prepares to enter into its kingdom. Certain standards must be maintained.

He is not as bright as you but he is not so thick that he thinks he is. He would deny it but he reads this blog every day in between his job of putting the kettle on for Labour figures who are not even very important themselves.

It comes from the left but it should also appeal to those who are concerned with and interested in the great issues and how they are dealt with by our political and other institutions. It is well worth reading.” <em>David Stoddart, Lord Stoddart of Swindon; Labour MP for Swindon, 1970-1983; Government Whip, 1975-1978.</em><br /><br />“Current orthodoxy – both in economic policy and right across the board – has so manifestly failed us that we desperately need some fresh thinking and a different way of looking at our problems. That is precisely what David Lindsay provides in this stimulating book.” <em>Professor Bryan Gould, Labour MP for Southampton Test, 1974-1979; Labour MP for Dagenham, 1983-1994; Shadow Cabinet Member, 1986-1994; Leadership Candidate, 1992.</em><br /><br />“Before Red Tory and Blue Labour there was David Lindsay. He was arguably the first to announce a postliberal politics of paradox, and to delve into the deep, unwritten British past in order to craft, theoretically, an alternative British and international future. It is high time that the singular and yet wholly pertinent writings of this County Durham Catholic Labour prophet receive a wider circulation.” <em>Professor John Milbank, Professor in Religion, Politics and Ethics, University of Nottingham.</em>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
