Full text of Burnham's speech.
A lot to like, after the 2 lost years under Starmer and all those before, but all predicated on economic growth which a) would be very hard to achieve given eco-geo-political constraints and the structural long crisis of capitalism, and b) is inherently damaging, in the aggregate, for the ecosystem on which we all depend.

"Faced with economic stagnation the elites are panicking. Wild eyed in the control room, they thrash around seeking to fix the unfixable, pushing all the buttons, pulling all the levers, to no avail, just making things worse.
