I am not just talking about rhetoric, because in fact, all of us—all of us—can talk about freedom and kindness and respect and fairness and justice and responsibility. All of those words, though, mean totally different things to all of us. What I am talking about is those values in practice and how, when it really comes down to it, we will have to prioritise things—how none of us in our policies or in our voter bases can have it all; how it is a complete and utter folly to pretend that there is somehow some middle road through really crunchy and difficult issues of poverty, of racism, of the climate crisis.
