Really pleased to have written the introduction to this new essay collection from @uclpolicylab.bsky.social @right-here.org @powertochange.org.uk. It argues Labour's communitarian tradition holds many of the answers to the key challenges the government faces today: www.ucl.ac.uk/policy-lab/s...

Spending Review response from @locality.org.uk 👇 Some positive announcements like the funding for 350 deprived communities. But despite the Chancellor specifically referencing community assets in the Commons, no dedicated funding for community ownership announced.
Locality CEO Tony Armstrong responds to the #SpendingReview:
“It's disappointing to see the absence of funding for community ownership. Renewal can only happen with direct involvement of local people. Govt must set out a clear way forward on how to put community power at the top of the agenda.”

Ed argues powerfully that there's more to Fabianism than the big state, and that this flavour of Fabianism is the creed we need to meet the moment.

"It is equality of *power* that social democrats should seek today – the ability to live our lives together...in the way we choose."
Great pamphlet from @ewallis.bsky.social drawing on the rich communitarian resources of the centre-left and mapping them onto a revisionist policy agenda for today.
