Good article. Labour has no way out of this one. Cashed out its base. Starmer had the opportunity to do a reset after 3 decades of political malpractice. Instead, he went straight into the same trap. An accidental PM who turned out to be a clueless manager, with zero political imagination.

Que tonto este hombre. It’s not about you. But about Lamin’s refusal to turn away from Palestinians. Bring back Guardiola.

Saw SRV in Summer of 1988 in Manchester, England. Never seen a gig like that. Unbelievable he was…

The pope was just cool. Beautifully deals with a kid's painful question if his deceased 'atheist' father is in heaven. What a burden this poor child was carrying. m.youtube.com/watch?v=bRbU...

It was a brilliant event. Imagining an inspiring future as if people mattered is liberating. Thank you.

Here is one. Amazon-unlike scheme, organised through a chain of interconnected cooperatives. Entire ecosystem (value chain), ie inputs and supply chain, management, transport, etc all organised in a cooperative arrangement. Stakeholder ownership, where an individual’s share does not exceed 1%.

In Feb 2025 I had the privilege of attending the Finance in Common Summit (FiCS) in Cape Town. An amazing gathering illustrating enormous global public banking capacity, and energy. My message, and a common theme, was the need for more #public-public collaborations to deliver just transitions!

Every time this man speaks, my blood boils. But then again, he is part of a long line of so-called French ‘leaders’, trained in the same institution, taught to plunder. He just happens to vocalise his racism with no filter or restraint.

You & other progressive politicians need to rebuild your party from ground up to present structured resistance. There can be no doubt that your party’s failure to connect with working people & the young is what led to Trump. You all need to forget DC & go on the road to listen, resist & organise.

Enjoying it...Very much so. Looking forward to the hopeful end...also asked 'my' students at UCL to read the book together...and discuss it at the end of the term

Currently in the thick of this wonderful book. The Lucas aerospace story made me cry. Neoliberal policies have squandered endless possibilities and crushed so many hopes.

Shout out Michelle. Way too dignified. Self-respect is too precious to throw away for the sake of ‘obeying’ some bullshit convention.

I am with you all the way, though I have a different understanding of anarchism. They certainly are narcissistic pillocks, devoid of any moral fabric.

Great to talk with Jael Holzman. Heatmap is a remarkable outlet--daily newsletters on renewable energy. I am very concerned that anti-renewables groups are not being directly confronted for misinformation. Our work on that is here: www.climatedevlab.brown.edu/anti-offshor...

Yep. when some advocate investing in services to serve all, they scream "class war"; when small efforts are made to 'correct' historical wrongs of racism, they shout "wokism"; but when the rich extract huge wealth from the poorest, they say "it's the way of the market". Bollocks!

Matt Damon: “A teacher wants to teach.” The son of a public school teacher, he defends teachers as heroes we should be grateful for rather than villains we should be threatening to punish — as pro-privatization forces would have us believe.
