A key part of the creation of new Labour was the repositioning of the party as being on the side of business rather than the unions.
Senior figures spent years on a “prawn cocktail offensive”, culminating in Peter Mandelson's declaration that Labour was supremely relaxed about people being “filthy rich”.
Oddly, I don't think of shrimp cocktail as being for the filthy rich in the US. Is prawn cocktail in a different class?
