I wrote this piece in an attempt to get to grips with economic thinking inside the faction of the Labour Party know as Blue Labour. I hope it's of some interest.
'there is not much about Blue Labour's economic programme that is genuinely populist, in the sense of putting power back into the hands of working class citizens and communities'
Now online: @seanirving100 on the political economy of Blue Labour.

First, Renewal ventures into theatre criticism! Will Jones reviews 'Nye' at the National Theatre, lamenting the play's reluctance to ask difficult questions about the pragmatism and compromises required to create the NHS: renewal.org.uk/blog/saint-ny…

The Chancellor is visiting the epicentre of the Cornish mining revival, South Crofty: theguardian.com/business/202…
Great to see local tin understood as a test case for Reeves's 'securonomics', as I suggested in a piece for @RenewalJournal a few years ago: renewal.org.uk/blog/bringing…
New online: Megan Corton Scott assesses the current state of Labour YIMBYism, after the departures of Chrises Hinchliffe and Worrall

New online: @j_westerling & Rich Bell take on 'a worrying strand of thought on parts of the ‘devolutionary’ centre-left that risks inadvertently tying progressive politics to existing institutions – just as trust in those institutions has evaporated.'

As a recess treat, I wrote about the week where the Labour Party lost two Chrises, and what it means for the ongoing discourse on growth, planning and Labour YIMBYism.

In case you missed it: @AlfieSteer on the history of left-wing schisms from Labour and the prospects for a new left party.
The announcement of a new Sultana-Corbyn party 'marks the beginning of the most significant left-wing schism from Labour in the party’s post-war history'.
New online: @AlfieSteer assesses the prospects and pitfalls for a new left party.

Very important reading from @AlfieSteer. Not sure I'd go as far as to describe next May's Holyrood election as 'fertile' ground for a new left formation, but that's a minor quibble with an otherwise excellent piece.

After Pogrund & Mason’s terrible articles @AlfieSteer’s contribution on the multiplicity of left projects - Labour Left/Momentum, Polanski Green Left & a new left party - is a refreshingly helpful survey of the various left projects on offer. 1/3

This overview by @AlfieSteer is the best write up of the potential for a new left-wing party I've read. It benefit from Alfies's research into the recent history of both the Labour left and the left outside Labour rather than focusing on personalities. renewal.org.uk/blog/the-reve…

Never mind the Bolsheviks. On @jeremycorbyn/ @zarahsultana new party of the left, or not, this @AlfieSteer piece is streaks ahead of everything else I've read, left, right or in-between. If @RenewalJournal carries more of this ilk it has a real future
