IN THE new year, internal Labour Party politics and the culture war everyone denies fighting will be the chief preoccupation of the left.
While politicians and political commentators continue to struggle over the national questions raised by Brexit, the Scottish independence referendum before it, and the recent election defeat, they will try to make sense of it all by continuing to argue in pointless culture war terms about patriotism, progressive or otherwise billed, conceptions of internationalism and so on.
