I was delighted to contribute to this excellent @uclpolicylab.bsky.social & @powertochange.org.uk essay collection on “Labour and the communitarian tradition”, alongside @ewallis.bsky.social, @mds49.bsky.social, @caitprowle.bsky.social, @kirstymcneill.bsky.social & @andyburnham.bsky.social

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.

“Across Greater Manchester, and the country, Locality members are showing what’s possible when local people are trusted with power"- @ewallis.bsky.social Great to be with @andyburnham.bsky.social & @right-here.org on the BIG GM Live Well Bus Tour, celebrating community orgs in #Manchester

Excited to be in Manchester today with @right-here.org community leaders, to join the Big GM Live Well Bus Tour. Going to be visiting great @locality.org.uk members, hearing from @andyburnham.bsky.social, and learning about putting community powered devolution into practice.

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.

In @labourlist.bsky.social, @ewallis.bsky.social argues for a communitarian social democracy that is both of the moment and rooted in the Labour tradition. labourlist.org/2025/05/fabi...

‘Fabianism isn’t just about the big state. We need to unlock community power’ Great article from @ewallis.bsky.social in @labourlist.bsky.social following his recent @thefabians.bsky.social pamphlet. labourlist.org/2025/05/fabi...

I wrote for @labourlist.bsky.social about why community power provides the answers a Labour government needs to the challenges of today: labourlist.org/2025/05/fabi...

“Local authorities have a crucial role to play in this new era of community power.“ — @ewallis.bsky.social In a new article for LGIU, Ed explores how our proposals for more community involvement in local decision-making could help councils meet their goals. lgiu.org/blog-article... @locality.org.uk

Very interesting pamphlet from @ewallis.bsky.social on community as a guiding principle for Labour

Community power has always been at the heart of Labour politics.🌹 @ewallis.bsky.social writes for @thefabians.bsky.social about how the government can learn from its history to meet today’s challenges with new & better solutions. Read the article: fabians.org.uk/publication/... @locality.org.uk

We’re excited to share Social Democracy Now, a new pamphlet by @ewallis.bsky.social.
 As political, economic, and environmental challenges mount, Wallis revisits the communitarian tradition and offers a fresh toolkit for social democrats to shape a more participatory democracy. 🧵 (1/5)

"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.

I’m really pleased to have written a pamphlet for @thefabians.bsky.social . It’s called “Social Democracy Now”, and argues that the answers the left needs today can be in found in its (recent and distant) communitarian past. Read all about it here: fabians.org.uk/publication/...
