Despite Osborne's masochism, don't deny economic reality, says David Miliband

davidfrontpagelinkLabour's lack of a shared ideology is a problem for the Party when opposing coalition cuts, argues David Miliband in our fourth Labour Leadership essay today.

"An absence of a shared creed, of an ideology that can unite our movement, is a problem for Labour. In the good times it matters less... but when historic choices need to be made it is a weakness... Voters – many of them our voters – spent the election wondering whose side we were really on."

He argues that Labour needs its "own story of political economy that embraces neither the masochism of George Osborne nor the denial of economic reality."
