Introduction from Gordon Brown Leader of the Labour Party Extending and renewing party democracy Introduction from Gordon Brown Leader of the Labour Party photo: C.Smith photo: But we know that while the British people are increasingly politically interested, joining pressure groups and campaigning on local and global issues, traditional party political activity has never been so low. So just as in the past we renewed our party in preparation for government, now the new circumstances we face mean we must reform our party again. I want a policy making process that honours the fact that all of us have joined the Labour Party to make a contribution. On the 24th June I was elected Leader of We must be clearer about the importance the Labour Party. I want to thank you as a of party membership, and recognise more member of our party for this great honour explicitly the responsibility it brings for and responsibility. shaping the future direction of our party.

Many of its contributors oppose the very idea of school 'standards' and have an ideological opposition to external testing. They have been permanent critics of the changes of recent decades. And it is only in that light that the review's conclusions can be understood. Of course, there is no conflict between teaching literacy and numeracy, and the other subjects within the primary curriculum. And the best schools do indeed show how doing them all well provides a good and rounded education. Presenting this as the point of difference is a diversionary Aunt Sally. However, there is a very real conflict between recognising the need to single literacy and numeracy out for extra time over the other subjects as with the dedicated literacy and numeracy lessons, and making them just another aspect of primary schooling that pupils may or may not pick up along the way.

  • New Labour, Globalization, and the Competition State" by Philip G
    Centerfor European Studies Working Paper Series #70 New Labour, Globalization, and the Competition State" by Philip G. Cemy** Mark Evans" Department of Politics Department of Politics University of Leeds University of York Leeds LS2 9JT, UK York YOlO SDD, U.K Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] • Will also be published in Econonry andSocitD' - We would like to thank the Nuffield Foundation, the Center for European Studies, Harvard University,and the Max-Planck-Institut fur Gesellschaftsforshung, Cologne, for their support during the writing of this paper. Abstract The concept of the Competition State differs from the "Post-Fordist State" of Regulation Theory, which asserts that the contemporary restructuring of the state is aimed at maintaining its generic function of stabilizing the national polity and promoting the domestic economy in the public interest In contrast, the Competition State focuses on disempowering the state from within with regard to a range of key tasks, roles, and activities, in the face of processes of globalization . The state does not merely adapt to exogenous structural constraints; in addition, domestic political actors take a proactive and preemptive lead in this process through both policy entrepreneurship and the rearticulation of domestic political and social coalitions, on both right and left, as alternatives are incrementally eroded. State intervention itself is aimed at not only adjusting to but also sustaining, promoting, and expanding an open global economy in order to capture its perceived

  • Democracy for Sale: Dark Money and Dirty Politics Peter Geoghegan London: Head of Zeus, 2020, £8.99
    Democracy for Sale: Dark Money and Dirty Politics Peter Geoghegan London: Head of Zeus, 2020, £8.99 Colin Challen Ever since the birth of ‘democracy’ it has been for sale. Influence pedlars, bribery, blackmail, fraud, honours touting – these are all as common as the ballot box. A whole library has been written about these less savoury approaches to power; and in the modern era a slew of legislation has been enacted to excise such corrupt behaviour. However these measures – stretching from the Representation of the People Act 1832, through e.g. the Honours (Prevention of Abuses) Act 1925 to the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums (PPER) Act 2000 – have failed to stem the continuing saga of ‘dark money’. No law has trumped the native law of democracy, which is that money buys influence. Or at least, that’s the belief of those who obey it; and, as this book illustrates, they have good reason to believe it. Geoghegan, a journalist who works for opendemocracy.com, has produced a useful addition to the literature. His book has a heavy focus on the 2016 Brexit referendum and the subsequent exposure of outfits like Cambridge Analytica, the shady background of leave campaign finances and the huge growth in social media political messaging. Geoghegan doesn’t offer any particularly new facts or insights beyond what a reasonably attentive follower of serious news outlets may have garnered but his book does put the jigsaw pieces together very adroitly to reveal the overall picture – and it is no less discouraging for being bang up to date.

    The Corbyn years John Booth Left Out: The Inside Story of Labour Under Corbyn Gabriel Pogrund and Patrick Maguire London: The Bodley Head, 2020, £18.99 This Land: The Story of a Movement Owen Jones London: Allen Lane, 2020, £20.00 When back in 2015 newly elected Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was first hit by critical abuse, Benjamin Netanyahu had just warned President Barack Obama of the power of the friends of Israel in Washington DC.1 Hundreds of members of the US Congress afforded Israel’s prime minister repeated standing ovations for assertively undermining their president’s Iran nuclear deal.2 Anyone with a weather eye to the West could forecast what was to descend on the peace-campaigning MP for Islington North. If the US President could be so vilified a mile from the White House, what chance had a life-long critic of US foreign policy – his children’s Chilean-born mother was a refugee from the Kissinger-backed Pinochet coup – who had landed the task of leading a party of diminished and largely demoralised members after two general election defeats?3 This perspective is not one embraced by the authors of these two books on Corbyn’s travails. It’s disappointing as Left Out joint author Gabriel Pogrund enjoyed a Laurence Stern journalism fellowship (now the Stern- 1 <https://tinyurl.com/nsvwssf> or <https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/ wp/2015/03/03/full-text-netanyahus-address-to-congress/> 2 <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KMVhb57RqI&> 3 <http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/election2010/results/> <https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election/2015/results> <https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election/2017/results> Bryan fellowship) at The Washington Post.4 In my experience of working at the Post in DC it’s hard not to be aware of the powerful influence of Israel’s supporters in US politics and journalism.
