Why I'm (Finally) Leaving the Labour Party I've been a Labour member for 31 years, but now it's time to go.

I've decided to leave the Labour Party, after over 31 years of membership. This wasn't an easy decision, but it certainly feels like the right thing for me to do.

I've written down a few thoughts on why I've come to this conclusion, which may be of interest to others who are in a similar position.

Our Mutual Friend: The BBC in the Digital Age | Briefing | Common Wealth The upcoming BBC Charter Review is an opportunity to transform the BBC into a public service mutual, founded on a genuinely democratic relationship with the public.

🚨 What if the BBC *actually* belonged to the British public?

Our new proposal says it can β€” and should.

We can convert the BBC into something called a public service mutual β€” owned & governed by you.

🧡Here’s how.

Rightwing populists will keep winning until we grasp this truth about human nature | George Monbiot Economic inequality breeds resentment and a desire to get even. That’s what fuels support for even incompetent regimes, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

It's a straightforward relationship: high #inequality leads to the triumph of the far right. It will keep winning until governments deliberately seek to make societies more equal. I'm looking at you, Keir Starmer.
