What happened
While participating in the Labour Tribes project, Jonathan Hinder discussed the current state of the Parliamentary Labour Party. Hinder argued that the party had become too accepting of the economic settlement established under Margaret Thatcher. He claimed that the rise of New Labour was a key factor in the party's detachment from working-class communities.

Why it matters
Hinder, who identifies as a socialist, stated that while working-class people hold many left-wing economic values, the party had failed to represent them. He used Andy Burnham as a point of reference when discussing these shared economic policy failures.
