Does our desire to belong to one tribe or another make conflict with others inevitable?

Identity politics has become ever more influential. While the left champions identities based on sexuality or race, the right reasserts the nation. Could we do away with tribal allegiances and see ourselves as part of the same human family? Or are group identities based on class, race, sexuality or nationality the only effective vehicles for political change?

Dawn Butler is a British Labour Party politician serving as Shadow Women & Equalities Secretary since 2017, and has served as Member of Parliament for Brent Central since 2015. Butler served as MP for Brent South from 2005 to 2010.

David Blunkett is a British former politician, having represented the Sheffield Brightside and Hillsborough constituency for 28 years through to 7 May 2015 when he stepped down at the general election. He was Home Secretary from 2001-2004, during the Blair Years.

Phillip is an internationally recognised political thinker, social and economic commentator and director of ResPublica. Prior to entering politics and public policy, he was a senior lecturer in theology and philosophy, teaching at the Universities of Exeter and Cumbria. He is the author of Red Tory, which sought to redefine the centre ground of British politics around the ideas of civil association, mutual ownership and shared enterprise.
