What a lazy, cliched analysis this is! I stopped being an adviser to Gordon Brown 15 years ago. I am a professor of political economy at the University of Sheffield who analyses policy not through the lens of Labour disagreements of 15-25 years ago but from what I see now.

Missed @michaelujacobs's incredible lecture last Autumn, 'After Neoliberalism: Economic Theory and Policy in the Polycrisis'? The #DigestedRead is now available, summarising his argument in just 2000 words. Don't miss it: politicalquarterly.org.uk/blog/after-neo…

We urgently need to reform this short-termist fiscal framework so that our public finances can be truly sustainable. There are lots of suggestions out there from the likes of @instituteforgov , @NIESRorg , @CETEx_LSE , @IPPR , @NEF Hopefully govt looks seriously at these.

For those for whom 8,000 words is too many but 140 too few, may I offer the Goldilocks version of my Political Quarterly annual lecture - and journal article - on post-neoliberal economic policy. My conclusion is that… sorry I’ve run out of space. You’ll have to read it. @po_qu

How radical can the Starmer government be? On my new @SPERIshefuni podcast with @MemsAyinla ‘Lessons in power’, the brilliant @geoffmulgan offers a wealth of advice on how to bring about real change. This is the craft of government. Worth a listen.
