Daily: THE NEW MEANING OF WORK – Ian Dunt meets Jon Cruddas MP

Daily: THE NEW MEANING OF WORK – Ian Dunt meets Jon Cruddas MP

While Labour agonises over whether it can reclaim working class votes, one question gets lost: what is work for? What do we get from it? If “good work” can give life meaning in an automated world, can Labour capture the post-working class world? Jon Cruddas, Labour MP for Dagenham and Rainham, talks to Ian Dunt about his new book The Dignity of Labour, why the somewhere-anywhere mantra is “wretched”, what Starmer can take from FDR… and if the dream of “automated luxury communism” is just Get Out Of Jail politics.


• “Dignity today is often more about how you die than how you live.”

  • “The work that we value most in society – caring for one another - is the work that we value least in pay.”
  • “I fear that the Right want the Left to choose between Somewhere and Anywhere, so they can lock in their power forever.”

• “Progressive politics is being outmanoeuvred at every turn. We need to turn the tide.”


Presented by Ian Dunt. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers Jelena Sofronijevic and Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees. THE BUNKER is a Podmasters Production
