Why Labour needs a rural reset
Our new Prime Minister, in his first speech in the role, has promised a “circuit breaker for Britain” and made pointed references to “wrong turns” made in the 1980s. So while Burnham gets to work organising his new government, one might ask what kind of circuit breaker he will be offering to rural communities. What “wrong turns” does he consider have been made in the countryside?
