This is what an appetite for a mature, thorough, solution-seeking political discussion looks like: a venue absolutely packed with an engaged audience that many party conferences would - and should - be envious of. With hope in the air... bsky.app/profile/make...

Make Hope Possible @makehopepossible.bsky.social · 21/04/2026
In his latest book, George Monbiot takes down the dominant ideology of our time: neoliberalism. In our forthcoming series of 'Evenings with George Monbiot', we'll dissect what's wrong with neoliberalism - and what hopeful politics could look like. Find out more at: makehopepossible.org/tickets
The main text reads: "WHEN NEOLIBERALISM PREVAILS, ONLY THE RICH PROSPER. WHEN DEMOCRACY PREVAILS, THE PROSPERITY OF THE POOR, AND OF SOCIETY AS A WHOLE, IS ENHANCED." Below the quote, it attributes the words to "George Monbiot in his book The Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism." At the bottom is the "make hope possible" logo,.

Thanks to everyone who attended our conversation with Caroline Lucas. At Make Hope Possible, we are doing politics differently. We believe that the despair of today's politics is not inevitable and that with radical politics, hope can return to our society.
