Labour Must Harness Change for Justice, Not Just Technological Optimism

Labour MP Wes Streeting argues that while Tony Blair correctly identifies a historic rupture due to technological, geopolitical, and economic shifts, his intervention neglects the fundamental issue of inequality, which underpins the crises in western democracies. Streeting emphasizes that Labour must combine dynamism with fairness, ensuring the AI revolution serves the many, not just the privileged few, and advocates for a new relationship with Europe and independent foreign policy stances.
