There’s no route to a more prosperous 🇬🇧, to improved public services & to national renewal that doesn’t involve harnessing the power of technology. And the values that shape that mission matter deeply. A pleasure to speak at the @thefabians.bsky.social @brightblueuk.bsky.social Tech Summit today!

It was a pleasure to speak at the @thefabians.bsky.social and @brightblueuk.bsky.social Tech Summit yesterday, on the risks and opportunities that Big Tech poses for democracy. Now more than ever, we need a progressive approach to tech.

“Local authorities are looking to use low-use golf courses as a way of building great places to live” On @listentotimesradio.bsky.social, @bencooper1995.bsky.social explains that making it easier to build on golf courses could open up accessible green spaces for thousands of people.

“in practice, abstract Green policies cannot live up to the socialist values they now lay claim to” The Greens are not progressive in practice - Labour should attack them from the left, argues Cllr Bella Sankey fabians.org.uk/blue-in-green/

“Our party has always been a progressive champion of women’s equality” The rise of the reactionary right has seen political space for equality narrow – our response must be inclusive and, above all, progressive, writes @seemamalhotra-mp.bsky.social fabians.org.uk/step-by-step/

📢 A message from Lord Neil Kinnock “If you’re looking for interesting exchanges, very well-written material from a huge spread of capable, talented very often expert people, the Fabian Society is something you should consider joining. You’ll certainly get a welcome. That’s absolutely guaranteed.”

“The shift among young women is no less radical; it is simply quieter” Young women face a myriad of economic and social pressures - Labour must tread them as a core constituency in its coalition, writes @jadeazim.bsky.social fabians.org.uk/left-behind/

How do we defeat populism? The nation Labour governs today is unrecognisable compared to the one two decades ago With essays from @jeevunsandher.bsky.social, @annagelderdmp.bsky.social, @lukemurphy.bsky.social & @andrewlewinmp.bsky.social Common Endeavour explores how to build a stronger Britain

“Getting AI right could make public services more human” Civil Servants can build better services through AI - if they are given the keys to so, argues @sasjkia.bsky.social for @civilserviceworld.bsky.social 👇 civilserviceworld.com/professions/...

"The huge investments in education and health, Sure Start, the massive reduction in pension and child poverty - all those things, were arriving, but people were not induced to understand that it was the consequence of having a Labour government applying its serious progressive purposes, its values.”

"The government must scale what works, fund what works, and, above all, trust communities." To tackle health inequalities for black women, the government should support community-led models argue @mmasters21.bsky.social & @evenor.bsky.social fabians.org.uk/scaling-what...

How do we rebuild Labour’s electoral coalition? 🗳️🌹 The 2024 election saw Labour win a landslide, built on targeting key voters in marginal seats. In this pamphlet, @jamespren.bsky.social examines why Labour has struggled to hold its coalition and how a progressive one could be built.

“They do believe in slashing back swathes from the NHS and the social security system and spending the money on tax cuts for rich people. Although they will be quite selective about particular economic projects like Scunthorpe, actually, the core of their economic program is profoundly conservative"

"Madame Pelicot lifts the lid on her own story, and in doing so, gives us direction and hope for that mountain journey" Gisèle Pelicot’s memoir should prompt the government to renew its focus on ending violence against women and girls, writes @voakeshott.bsky.social fabians.org.uk/renewed-purp...

“This is a vision Labour will need to take to the country in our next manifesto for a clear democratic mandate.” @stellacreasy.bsky.social makes the case for a Swiss-style deal to help the UK build a closer relationship with the EU, in @labourlist.bsky.social labourlist.org/2026/04/on-e...

“Labour remains closer to the country than either Reform or the Greens” Labour must stand firm after Gorton and Denton to hold together its electoral coalition, argues @jimmysergi.bsky.social fabians.org.uk/steady-ship/

“It is hard to imagine a British foreign policy that is not wholly dependent on alignment with the US. Pedro Sánchez’s Spain provides a template” Alignment with the US and Israel puts the UK at risk, argues @iggywood.bsky.social fabians.org.uk/clean-break-2/

“We are poorer, we're weaker, and we're more isolated as a country after Brexit. We're not a nation renewed, we're a nation diminished. And that's why more people are thinking about the future of our relationship with Europe as we approach the 10th anniversary of the referendum."

“The task for liberal-democratic forces is to defend the system itself, even as we argue over the policies within it.” Treating Reform UK as just another populist party may prove disastrous, argue David Cowan and Sir Chris Powell fabians.org.uk/closing-the-...

“We just never really squared the circle of saying to people you were wrong, and it's not that you were wrong like 10 years ago and things have really changed, you were wrong like 18 months ago maybe - not even two years ago, it's quite hard to put that to people.”

“We are everything literally that the far right can’t stand. Donald Trump is obsessed with our Mayor of London because of that reason. They will continue to attack us because we are a live example of how you can have all of these things that exist in one place and be a thriving place to live in.”
