Labour is at risk of being ejected out of power by a populist wave from Reform and the Greens.
So how should the party respond?
I argue in my @labourlist.bsky.social column that Labour embrace its own authentic tradition of populism.

@tombaldwin66.bsky.social, the author of ‘Keir Starmer: The Biography’ sets out the message he thinks government should be delivering
🎙️ From Fabian Thinking: Book Club with Francesca Reynolds
"The story of opportunity runs through Keir’s story, his own story. It runs through so many people in the cabinet. It runs through the Labour Party’s values. That’s what this country needs. People need to know that this country can be better, that their kids can have a chance.”
“We do need to see Labour improve their position in the polling and connect better with the country”
Speaking on @lbc.co.uk, General Secretary @joedromey.bsky.social urged the government not only focus on delivery, but also to provide a vision to reconnect with the country.
“The NHS is at a crossroads. Every missed opportunity to build state capacity today locks in private dependence tomorrow.”
To secure the NHS’s future, policymakers must ensure that public ownership remains at its heart, argues Dr Zack Hassan.

After 25 years on the NHS frontline, I see the govt's 10-year health plan as our chance to finally make the vital 'left shift' to proactive, community care.
The human cost of delay is devastating but a better future is possible.
