The Provisional Left has been absolutely central to the opposition to gender self-identification. With holding the pro-Brexit line that the whole of the Left once held, and with rejecting the IHRA Definition, it has been one of our three key defining issues as we have emerged in distinction from the Official Left during the Corbyn years.
We are Red rather than Green, refusing to celebrate the defeat of the miners in 1985, and seeking instead to harness the power of the State, both directly and in partnership with private enterprise, in the service of human demographic, economic, intellectual and cultural expansion and development throughout this country and throughout the world.
And we have understood from the start that a sovereign state with its own free floating, fiat currency had as much of that currency as it chose to issue to itself, with readily available fiscal and monetary means of controlling inflation, means that must therefore be under democratic political control.
That understanding is now being used in that service, in order to hold and expand the Conservative Party's gains along the Red Wall, where we on the Provisional Left are strong. The previous Conservative Government had a thing for the IHRA Definition, but expect no more of that as the present Leadership sought to capture the Black Wall.
The Black Wall is also a centre of Provisional Left thinking and activity, since its inhabitants are profoundly unconvinced of the value of "brown faces in high places", and are hungry instead for radical, structural change. In any case, there are precious few brown faces anywhere near the present Labour Leadership.
Britain has left the European Union, and we are within an ace of leaving the Single Market and the Customs Union; like Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell before them, Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak have an economic programme that depends upon our having done so. And today, it looks as if the Government has abandoned gender self-identification. All in all, then, Keir who? The Centre is the think tank for this new era. It already has plenty going on.
