An Honest Day and Manchesterism have been cast as two competing political and economic visions for the country. Matt Lawrence of @cmmonwealth.bsky.social and I have written in the @newstatesman1913.bsky.social saying the future will be shaped by both: www.newstatesman.com/politics/lab...

This week we released An Honest Day - written by @markmcvitie.bsky.social with @chriscurtis94.bsky.social - to outline a new economic settlement for Britain. Written about today in @theguardian.com by both @gabyhinsliff.bsky.social and Andy Beckett. Read it in full - www.labourgrowth.co.uk

We can spend the next days and weeks gnashing our teeth and running in circles, or we can get serious about what voters are actually telling us. Let’s get to work.

Wooo

For this weekend’s read, I’ve take a step back from the leadership drama to ask - what would a change actually look like? Many MPs are deeply dissatisfied with the government‘s record. What’s the alternative - and who are the Labour factions who will shape it? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

“No wonder the public are sick of us all." Superb from @markmcvitie.bsky.social on Peter Mandelson and the moral decay of Westminster.

Mandelson isn’t an aberration, but the relational logic of the machine working as intended. Moral conviction has been devalued in both our people and our arguments. This is the inevitable result. We must start saying what for too long we have been ready to think. open.substack.com/pub/futureof...

@pollybillington.bsky.social Just spoken powerfully in HoC to something that I've felt deeply throughout my years working in and around politics - far, far too often absolute lack of character or moral deficiency is excused in the name of either alleged talent or personal loyalty.

"The status quo is economically and morally bankrupt. So, we’re changing it.” - @torstenbell.bsky.social We seek a country where police can respond properly to crime and pensioners don't sit for hours in hospital corridors. That's the Britain we're building. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

New nuclear has a key role to play in delivering the transformative economic potential of the AI revolution while reaching Net Zero. SMRs should be able to go where demand is greatest so that growth is shared across every part of the country. www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...

I’ve only seen the trailers and i already know my position in the Brutalist discourse is ‘this is fucking amazing’

Very much feels like the vibe in the last 24 hrs of geo-politics

In 2025 we are cancelling endless decline

Prancer Dancer Dasher Vix.. Wait that’s not what we’re doing here is it?

Our new Chairs @chriscurtis94.bsky.social and Lola McEvoy spoke to @geraldinescott.co.uk at @thetimes.com about why its crucial that voters feel the effects of growth and the need for bold solutions to cut through a tangled web of broken systems in the UK. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Man #1: ‘The dumbest, most asinine take on something complicated ever commited to words’ Man #2: *One hundred* percent brother

We wrote to Rachel Reeves urging her to make this ambitious decision. Leaving behind the failed Tory fiscal framework and boldly investing in Britain’s future is crucial to growing our economy. We’re proud to back a Labour Chancellor bringing growth back to the UK 👇

We're urging the Chancellor to adopt a fiscal framework that recognises the value of investment at the coming Budget. It is time to break with the failure of the past and invest in Britain's future. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Genuinely feeling very proud to be helping @chriscurtis94.bsky.social bang the drum for MPs to do their bit to build the homes this country desperately needs. And we are very much just getting warmed up. inews.co.uk/news/politic...

Gonna need verification on this sight in a hurry. Perhaps some sort of check or mark in a calmingly official colour scheme...

God I hope this thing works.
