It is thought to be the largest poll lead enjoyed by any party with any pollster since the late 1990s.

During the Brexit interregnum, big business was alienated from the Tories, but they also lacked an alternative. Labour, so long the second party of British capitalism, had been briefly captured by an unreliable populist insurgency. Now that Starmer has made Labour a safe vehicle again, there is a clear pivot toward the party.

Media coverage of the Labour conference has been nothing short of euphoric. Tory media outriders and even former politicians have publicly pivoted to the party’s loudly centrist, statal program.
This raises the specter of a process of “Bidenization,” with ruling elements transferring the mantle of the chief business party to the onetime opposition, just as Wall Street walked away from Donald Trump’s Republicans to the Democratic Party in 2020. Labour’s newly announced policy prospectus is conspicuously conservative. The most radical proposals include a return to the top rate of tax under Boris Johnson (with no promises to reverse Truss’s wider package of cuts), the establishment of a state energy firm with a limited remit, and funding for a “green transition,” which everyone paying attention should know will be a creature of the corporate lobby.

This has implications that extend beyond Labour into the wider realm of left-wing and anti-Tory sentiment. Just as during the Brexit impasse, anti-Toryism is being channeled into pro-establishment attitudes and positions. Many who oppose the Tories have uncritically welcomed the statements from the IMF, the action of the BoE, and the lectures of former BoE governor Mark Carney.

Even in more critical layers that remember the record of these institutions, the temptation will be to use this as an energizing force for Labour. Indeed, some on the Left are already claiming victories in the form of unfulfilled Labour policy proposals that, as we have already noted, are perfectly in line with the needs and desires of big business and the establishment.

Breaking politics out of this circuit of establishment infighting means aiming instead at the class conflicts clearly opening up in the wider economy and society. These conflicts are not a tributary to some future Labour victory or part of a parallel strategy of “parliament and streets,” where strikes and protests compliment an electoral strategy.

Labour becoming the party of market stability will mean conflict with workers. No matter what party is in power, the pressure for austerity measures to reduce government debt will grow. The object should be an escalating fight against both wings of the establishment.

A senior adviser in the Biden administration has urged the UK not to cause more “flare ups” over Northern Ireland as Brexit talks reopen in London.

In an unusually blunt intervention for a policy adviser, the US Department of State counsellor Derek Chollet said the row over the Northern Ireland protocol needed to be resolved.

Pubs across the UK will be forced to close due to energy costs soaring by as much as 300%, brewery bosses have said.
Leaders of six of the country's largest breweries have called for "immediate government intervention" on sky-high energy bills this winter.
The landlord of one pub in Essex told the BBC that his energy costs had risen from about £13,000 a year to £35,000.
