old guard

You’re buying while the old guard hands you the keys.

A summer of change saw the old guard such as Kevin de Bruyne, Kyle Walker, Jack Grealish, Ilkay Gundogan and Ederson departing after playing a key role in their recent years of success.

Bush said, however, that the 2025 elections — which not only saw Democrats sweep up and down ballot races, but also saw the insurgent New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani defeat the embodiment of the old guard of the party, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo — proved that there was an appetite for her brand of people-focused politics alive and well in the country.

“We need accountability. There needs to be a reckoning because otherwise the lessons won’t be learned. The old guard needs to go. The old guard has failed us too many times. This is the latest failure.”

But the fact that Mamdani took on and beat the centrist old guard in his own party, defeating Andrew Cuomo, a former Democratic New York governor, who was forced to run as independent, will also be a morale boost for left-wingers no longer welcome in the Labour fold.
