The case for Britain’s first new city in 50 years – @shivmalik.bsky.social writes for Arguably on his Forest City project and how it could define a new age of municipalism. www.arguably.uk/p/forest-cit...

Why social democracy is more relevant than ever – my new column for Arguably. The AI revolution, climate change and the social care crisis all demand an active state – and the centre left has answers. www.arguably.uk/p/social-dem...

The case for social democracy in the 21st century The AI revolution, climate change and the social care crisis all demand an active state – and the centre left has answers, writes @georgeeaton.bsky.social. www.arguably.uk/p/social-dem...

One of the biggest myths in politics is that social democracy is obsolete. The AI revolution, climate change and the social care crisis all demand an active state – and the centre left has answers. New column by me for @arguablymag.bsky.social. www.arguably.uk/p/social-dem...

Reform is the no-change party – Farage is recycling a failed consensus on housing and the triple lock, writes @marthadacombe.bsky.social. www.arguably.uk/p/reform-is-...

“The challenge for the essay is that it doesn’t have a project that remotely fits the time and place we are living in: saying ‘AI’ is not the same as having a plan for Britain.” @torstenbell.bsky.social responds to Tony Blair’s essay on Labour. www.arguably.uk/p/tony-blair...

Tony Blair's missing project – @torstenbell.bsky.social writes for Arguably on how Blair has failed to grapple with the real choices on austerity, welfare, tax and energy. www.arguably.uk/p/tony-blair...

This is sharp from James Meadway in his interview with Arguably on the “hard truths” that any left project must face. www.arguably.uk/p/what-do-th...

Really interesting back and forth between James Meadway and @georgeeaton.bsky.social:

VG from @meadwaj.bsky.social on Green econ policy, eg this on wealth taxes: "The challenge politically, is this does not solve all your problems.. perhaps £10bn... The amount you want to spend on improving public services is an order of magnitude greater" www.arguably.uk/p/what-do-th...

Where do the Greens go now? I interviewed @meadwaj.bsky.social on a Burnham premiership, his new think tank Verdant, public ownership and how Britain adapts to becoming a hot country. www.arguably.uk/p/what-do-th...

Don’t fall for the Brexiteer myth that the cost of rejoining the EU would be too high for the UK, writes @benjudah.bsky.social. www.arguably.uk/p/a-good-rej...

What’s the best way to tax wealth? @davidlawrenceuk.bsky.social writes on why we should replace Stamp Duty with a new property tax. “A proportional property tax is a tax on wealth, but more importantly, it is a tax on passive, unproductive wealth.” www.arguably.uk/p/could-a-we...

What’s the best way to tax wealth? Excellent from @davidlawrenceuk.bsky.social on why we should replace Stamp Duty with a new property tax. “A proportional property tax is a tax on wealth, but more importantly, it is a tax on passive, unproductive wealth.” www.arguably.uk/p/could-a-we...

To fix the social care crisis, Labour needs a “big bang” for the state, writes @danmead.bsky.social. www.arguably.uk/p/how-to-fix...

The battle of ideas has started in Labour and social care is back on the news agenda. This is another area where "incremental change won't cut it". In @arguablymag.bsky.social I argue to unlock social care reform, only a "big bang" approach will work

Burnham understands the power of political theatre – smart from @marthadacombe.bsky.social on why the biggest difference with Starmer may be style rather than substance. www.arguably.uk/p/andy-burnh...

How can Britain tame the bond markets? @georgeeaton.bsky.social on why it’s time to end outdated policies such as the triple lock. www.arguably.uk/p/britains-w...

How should Britain tame the bond markets? New piece by me for Arguably. - Get serious on spending reform (e.g. triple lock) and pro-growth supply-side reform. - Bank of England should pause its bond sell-offs. - Burnham right to stick with current fiscal rules. www.arguably.uk/p/britains-w...

The progressive case for welfare reform – excellent from @marthadacombe.bsky.social on how to make the system fiscally and politically sustainable. www.arguably.uk/p/to-save-we...

I wrote last week in @arguablymag.bsky.social that pledging to rejoin the EU would help Labour build a winning coalition and boost economic and geopolitical security. www.arguably.uk/p/how-does-l...

How can Labour’s next leader succeed? @georgeeaton.bsky.social explores the radical pro-growth agenda that could unite the party. www.arguably.uk/p/how-labour...

An agenda for Labour's next leader: pro-growth, pro-Europe, fiscally credible and unashamed in defence of progressive values. New piece from me for @arguablymag.bsky.social. www.arguably.uk/p/how-labour...

What is Manchesterism? @benjudah.bsky.social and @davidlawrenceuk.bsky.social on the lessons from the city’s success: “Manchester today somehow manages to be simultaneously more left wing and more free market than London, both more open and more sovereign”. www.arguably.uk/p/what-can-w...

“Manchester today somehow manages to be simultaneously more left wing and more free market than London, both more open and more sovereign”.

Exclusive: Sadiq Khan calls for “very talented” Andy Burnham to be allowed to return as an MP and says the UK should rejoin the EU without a second referendum. www.arguably.uk/p/sadiq-khan...

New: Sadiq Khan speaks to Arguably on how Labour must change: – Calls for “very talented” Andy Burnham to be allowed to return – UK should rejoin EU through an election, not a second vote – Accuses Rachel Reeves of being a “roadblock” to greater powers for London www.arguably.uk/p/sadiq-khan...

The pro-growth agenda that no party currently represents and that Labour should now embrace. www.arguably.uk/p/how-does-l...

Why making the case for Rejoin is now Labour’s best hope – my post-election piece for Arguably. www.arguably.uk/p/how-does-l...

How does Labour recover? @georgeeaton.bsky.social writes on why the party’s best hope is to claim the radical centre and make the case for rejoining the EU. www.arguably.uk/p/how-does-l...

Why Rejoin? - Labour needs a cause that connects economic growth, geopolitical security and national renewal. - And one that can unite an election-winning coalition: Rejoin is backed by 65% of Labour voters, 79% of Greens, 37% of Tories and 22% of Reform backers. www.arguably.uk/p/how-does-l...

Rather than chasing Reform and the Greens, Labour must reclaim the radical centre – and a pledge to rejoin the EU is its best hope. My piece for Arguably on the lessons of the elections. www.arguably.uk/p/how-does-l...

I’ll be giving my post-elections take on Arguably tomorrow morning, subscribe now to receive it. www.arguably.uk

Arguably has published a piece making the liberal case for Christian socialism (or the Christian socialist case for liberalism).

To attract and keep talented MPs, give them real power again, writes @marthadacombe.bsky.social. www.arguably.uk/p/making-par...

To get better MPs, first build a system that gives them meaningful power – another brilliant Arguably column by @marthadacombe.bsky.social. www.arguably.uk/p/making-par...

“Social solidarity is not the antithesis of individual liberty, it is the basis upon which liberty depends.” Renie Anjeh writes on what liberals can draw from Christian socialism. www.arguably.uk/p/why-libera...

This is really good

My first piece for Arguably! 🎉 Freedom is the defining condition of our generation, but it's also a privilege. On class, broken meritocracy, and who really gets to step back from work 👇 open.substack.com/pub/arguably...

“A new divide is opening up, not simply between those who earn more and those who earn less, but between those who can step back and those who cannot.” Smart piece by @zoegrunewald.bsky.social for @arguablymag.bsky.social on freedom as a class divide. www.arguably.uk/p/freedom-is...

A reshuffle would disrupt ministers just at the moment they're gripping their briefs – excellent from @marthadacombe.bsky.social for Arguably on why Starmer should avoid Conservative-style churn. www.arguably.uk/p/labours-fa...
