‘Labour has to respond to working class concerns on migrants’ – Lord Glasman
We spoke to Lord Glasman, the founder of Blue Labour - a socially conservative campaign group within the party - and the only Labour figure invited to President Trump's second inauguration.
He's a strange breed Maurice Glasman. Labour needs to explain to ALL people why they're currently mimicking Reform. And when they look at their polling numbers and do the autopsy, they need to understand that they've moved away from their voters not the other way around.
Are they having sex with his wife?
And the response should be to tell them the truth. To make it clear they are being taken for fools by people whose real agenda is all about subjugation of ALL of us.
Sorry, this guy is spouting the same old BS. I don't care who he is. I welcome refugees.
I’m white and working class. My concerns are over the well-funded racist propaganda that is stoking fear and division in this country. Try tackling that.
naming your campaign group "blue labour" is akin to launching a band called "cod reggae", no?
What an unpleasant man. Why is he described as “Labour”. He displays one of those attributes
Ugh. Feckin fascists.
When will Labour realise that its voter base is diverse, urban and educated?
Chasing after gammons in run-down industrial towns. The pits closed 40 years ago. They feel no obligation to vote for you.
Loyalty to Labour exists in London and Manchester, not Lincoln and Mansfield.
Don't fuck it up.
Labour has to advance the benefits of immigration, and advance solutions to housing, greed and job crisises instead of pandering to a right wing agenda
The Labour Government has to do the right thing for the country and especially for everyone that voted for them. The "working class" who are obsessed with immigration voted for the Tories and Reform. They have no special claim on government policy. Glasman should join Reform.
"leftists must be racists like us"
He should be in reform or the Tories. Wants to get rid of ECHR and send asylum seekers abroad
This is absolute rubbish. I'm working class and, of all my concerns, immigration isn't even on the list. What these protests demonstrate is pure racism fuelled by Farage and right wing media.
Glasman is a wannabe fascist
Anyway, where are the promised reforms to move to a fully elected upper chamber of parliament?
" Blue Labour – a socially conservative campaign group within the party"
MAGA infiltration
"the only Labour figure invited to President Trump’s second inauguration."
Nazi ****
Lord professes to understand working class perspective … errrm.
Why? He's not a representative of the Government, he's one of many Labour peers, do they all get a spot on Channel 4? Wonder how many of your viewers are remotely interested in his views, I'm not and doubt I'm alone.
I wish she had pushed him harder when she questioned him about the Dublin Agreement.
Tell him to join Reform!If you are working class it doesn't mean you are automatically a racist rioting want to set fire to people in hotels kind of people! leave that to far right groups we expected better from PM ex human rights lawyer who is supposed to represent the left party!
Well, it's a Bank Holiday weekend and this arrogant old Jew is all that was available.
I'm working class and I have concerns about the labour government endorsing racist viewpoints
What about working class concerns on the economy, NHS, Europe etc?
‘Labour has to pander to racists concerns on migrants’ – Lord Glasman
Fixed that for your Lordship.
Addressing concerns is one thing - blatantly pandering to the right-wing press and Farage and his unholy mob is another. Weak, clueless, shameful.
I had to switch C4 News off ….not wasting my time and raising my blood pressure listening to Glasman pontificating with his air of self satisfaction . Why is he so influential , how has he persuaded others of his perceived genius . A more dangerous version of Cummings.
It's not a working class concern. It's the private schooled circles, that run everything, telling us to be concerned to avoid any scrutiny of their greed.
Glassman has nothing but hate and a hard on for thatcher.
Pathetic man who seems determined to bring down a labour government.
How about ... keep the refugees , deport the Lords?
Bollocks.
Labour has to lead.
Labour needs to respond to the children & babies that are being deliberately starved to death in Palestine right now
Abolish the peerage.
What's a 'Lord' ?
Oh f**k off with your classist crap.
And what if the majority of working class don’t have an issue with migrants ????
Fuckjn wake up yer twasts! There is no housing for asylum seekers...people living on the street, families in bed and breakfast...where the fu£k are incoming asylum seekers supposed to live? No fan of Starmer,but Labour were dealt a really shite hand ... no houses to live in! Hotels not the answer...
Respond how? Fact checking? Not pandering to those who spread rubbish?
It’s goons like him and his protogé McSweeney who are shaping Starmer and Labour mistaken policy on migration focusing only on the less than 4% asylum seekers arriving by boat. They are people like us all. Let’s recognise that and stop pretending they are just a statistic for a second!
Labour has to respond to the rich and entitled having more than they'll ever need while the rest of us struggle.
Labour is about 20 years late in kicking Glasman and his cohorts out of the party.
Why? Because a few hundred racists start hanging flags on motorway gantries and painting mini roundabouts??
Give me a break. This is responding to social media and MSM nonsense.
Labour needs to take the argument as to why immigration is important to this country and change the narrative.
Lord Glasman should just go and join Reform. It’s where he belongs.
Labour has to respond to 'working class' concerns of Glasman by kicking him out of the Labour Party!
Also he was flashing his underwear throughout.
Blue Labour you mean Red Tories! Zionist-backed right-wingers.
This is just the sort of toss that's got us where we are today.
His body language was very weird : his legs were shaking like he was desperate for the loo, and he kept folding and unfolding his arms, defensively?🤔 Most strange! Anyone else notice??
Glasman is an abhorrent arsehole and should fuck off out of the Labour Party….
Not many people. We need safe routes.
Appalling man.
The education system needs to include how to communicate effectively and recognise lies and fake news. Too many semi literate thick thugs are sliding out of school
The working class are very different to Reform members.
And imagined concerns about trans people. Alienate your base and the dustbin of history awaits. Blue Labour is MAGA without the appeal.
Senile old fool.
