A new threat | Fabian Society Fabian Society

“Farage, Goodwin and Kruger cannot be allowed to shift the Overton window when it comes to how women use our time and our bodies or how we keep ourselves safe”

Ben Cooper column: 'Labour needs to rediscover its own authentic populism' - LabourList Labour needs to rediscover its own authentic populism and deliver on it in government.

Labour is at risk of being ejected out of power by a populist wave from Reform and the Greens.

So how should the party respond?

I argue in my @labourlist.bsky.social column that Labour embrace its own authentic tradition of populism.

"The story of opportunity runs through Keir’s story, his own story. It runs through so many people in the cabinet. It runs through the Labour Party’s values. That’s what this country needs. People need to know that this country can be better, that their kids can have a chance.”

“We do need to see Labour improve their position in the polling and connect better with the country”

Speaking on @lbc.co.uk, General Secretary @joedromey.bsky.social urged the government not only focus on delivery, but also to provide a vision to reconnect with the country.

“The NHS is at a crossroads. Every missed opportunity to build state capacity today locks in private dependence tomorrow.”

To secure the NHS’s future, policymakers must ensure that public ownership remains at its heart, argues Dr Zack Hassan.

Ben Cooper column: 'Stop protecting golf courses, start building homes' - LabourList Golf courses serve one per cent of the population but take up vast amounts of land. In a housing crisis, Labour should be bold and build homes instead.

Voters want more homes and more accessible green spaces.

Building on golf courses is a way to deliver both.

The government should make this argument - and they can win it.
