T shirt for senior Keep Fit celebrating Arsenal women's Champions league win. A gift from @LewesLabour following our performance on Saturday at the conference on resisting the populist right. Buy the t shirt @@Phil_Football and the Little black book. @BylineBooks
Is there such a thing as "left" Trumpism? Is Blue Labour really Labour at all? @jonbloomfield2 and my new @BylineTimes piece follows up on our Little Black Book of the Populist Right. bylinetimes.com/2025/04/01/blu…

The story that so many progressives, Labour politicians, US Democrats have been afraid to say ever since the rise of Clinton & Blair. Until they make this central to their politics, national populists will continue to exploit people's hardship & insecurity. Key lesson from US.

An accurate summary. Requires genuine new thinking across all parts of progressive spectrum, not just here but also in Europe. How does EU need to change and who will do it? And can Labour contribute? @DavidLammy

What does @KemiBadenoch stand for? Her 'Renewal2030' assessed by @DavidBEdgar & I. Not a pretty prospect. Culture wars across the board and attacks on universities & students will intensify. @ProfTimBale bylinetimes.com/2024/11/02/kem…
If there’s one area I’d like to have seen the Chancellor go further, it’s on Capital Gains Tax. We could use those resources to help build #UniversalBasicCapital and help fix the yawning inequalities of wealth that scar our country. But I accept, it was time for first things…

Spot on.
🧵 Why We Desperately Need a New ‘Spirit of Bretton Woods’ Today ⬇️ 1/ This year marks the 80th anniversary of the IMF & World Bank—a moment to not just look back, but to look forward and ask: How can we renew the spirit of international cooperation that created them?
NOT requiring solar on new homes would be totally bizarre There's overwhelming support for higher new build standards & lots are annoyed solar isn't already required MHCLG allowing housebuilders to water down / delay standards would be v short sighted theguardian.com/environment/20…
