If you live or work near Well Street, have a look at these two travel surveys which will feed into Hackney Council developing travel plans around here. Resident travel survey: consultation.hackney.gov.uk/streetscene/... Business travel survey: consultation.hackney.gov.uk/streetscene/...

At Stamford Hill Stationu he with @sampallis.bsky.social - @woodberrydowncllrs.bsky.social campaigning for lift access to get down to platforms safely and easily. It’s a struggle to use your local station at Stamford Hill with buggies, wheelchairs or if you’re a little less steady on your feet.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... So many great energy projects in Hackney, cutting bills for community organisations and residents and producing cleaner energy. Our brilliant residential solar project is mentioned here too. @hackneycouncil.bsky.social

One of the best thing written about wealth taxes. ‘the Labour party that went to the polls in 2015 was more economically radical than the Greens and Your Party are a decade later.’ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This has been a great series so far. Do give it a listen

Ignore the haters. London is the 🐐

A must read!

I’m in the Big Issue: on IPPR’s new Decade of National Renewal programme, and the need for progressive parties to engage with their populist enemies not as managers of the status quo, but in a fight about fundamental beliefs and ideas. www.bigissue.com/opinion/cent...

I'm thrilled to have been published in Past & Present. Diving into the fractious politics of rich-country macroeconomics after 1973, I use the neglected case of protectionist Keynesians to rethink what happened, and why. I highlight statecraft, geopolitics, and Maier's 'territoriality'. (1/2)

Sam’s essay on the intellectual history of critiques of the “bureaucratic class” is worth reading alongside @will-davies.bsky.social’s recent NS piece on the contemporary anti-bureaucratic wave: www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...

Excited to get some of my research out in the newly relaunched Renewal. To understand the anti-globalist turn of figures like Badenoch we need to look at the pre-cold war right of Enoch Powell, Murray Rothbard and Garet Garrett, alongside the fall of post-war affluence.

Very excited to be launching public engagement on Hackney Council’s economic development plan Hackney leads the country when it comes to promoting inclusive growth. We believe a fair and green economy are the path to growth that can be felt in every corner of Hackney.

Great to see this out. A revelatory discussion of the failure of the Meidner Plan. While we should be careful about generalising, the analysis may shed light on the problems facing a reformist politics that aims for "structural" change rather than just everyday alleviation.

Busy ward day today Lunch at warm welcome. Great to meet all the volunteers and residents. Nourishing free food and fun activities Then onto Stamford Hill Estate at Cazenove police ward panel. Got a picture of the magnificent planting on Stamford Hill Estate

Want to understand why Trump is raising Tariff’s, listen to this. It’s all about servicing American ballooning public debt.

This is really worth checking out

Enjoyed this @mileendinstitute.bsky.social webinar on the Starmer govt's economic policies with @samfr.bsky.social, @katealexandershaw.bsky.social, @theobertram.bsky.social and @morganj0nes.bsky.social. I was lucky to join such an expert panel. Great turnout online too! youtu.be/cTC6td1Ge9w?...

And ending the day @co-op party with a really good session on cooperative solutions for London’s future with Hackney’s @sampallis.bsky.social and an inspiring panel of cooperative activists incl www.workers.coop

A busy weekend: 1. On a panel at the London co-op party conference talking about how we can realise the government mission of doubling the co-op sector 2. Out on the doorstep in Cazenove talking about resident priorities, and how we are tackling litter though our regular walkabouts.

Excited to be talking at the London Co-op party conference about Co-op Development in London Especially after the calls from Mayor of Hackeny and @coopparty.party.coop that put the social economy at the heart of the London growth plan Sign up here: www.eventbrite.com/e/london-co-...

Cazenove Labour councillors are continuing to take action on litter, fly-tipping and other waste issues in the ward. Please join @sampallis.bsky.social and I for our next litter walkabout on Sunday 6 April, meeting at 11.00 at The Boiler House N16 6BE

Caz team out team in Hackney Central today. With our new recruit baby

This will be excellent

My piece for the new @renewaljournal.bsky.social on how Labour talks about its history, how it's kind of remarkably unremarkable, and what that says about the party's ideological orientation. A qualified defence of Plain Old Labour. journals.lwbooks.co.uk/renewal/vol-...
