  • One Nation: Power, Hope, Community
    one nation power hope community power hope community Ed Miliband has set out his vision of One Nation: a country where everyone has a stake, prosperity is fairly shared, and we make a common life together. A group of Labour MPs, elected in 2010 and after, describe what this politics of national renewal means to them. It begins in the everyday life of work, family and local place. It is about the importance of having a sense of belonging and community, and sharing power and responsibility with people. It means reforming the state and the market in order to rebuild the economy, share power hope community prosperity, and end the living standards crisis. And it means doing politics in a different way: bottom up not top down, organising not managing. A new generation is changing Labour to change the country.

Do we treat convicted criminals with the human dignity which is always theirs? Do we believe in the real possibility of human change and transformation? What is the place of prison in the 21st century? Exactly 16 years ago, The Most Reverend Peter Smith (late Archbishop of Southwark) posed these searching questions in the foreword to ‘A Place of Redemption: A Christian approach to Punishment and Prison’. In the years following publication of that seminal document, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales has maintained a steadfast strategic oversight of the pastoral care of prisoners and advocacy on criminal justice issues at a national level. Further reports have set out a Catholic vision for improvements to the prison system, sentencing reform, improved mental health care and the removal of barriers to work for people who have served their sentences.

  • The Best Democracy Money Can Buy
    The Best Democracy Money Can Buy Greg Palast is an internationally recognized expert on the control of corporate power working with labor unions and consumer groups in the USA, South America and Europe. In America, among his more noted cases, he directed government investigations and prosecution of racketeering by nuclear plant builders and, for the Chugach Natives of Alaska, probed charges of fraud by oil companies in the grounding of the Exxon Valdez. Five years ago, Palast turned his investigative skills to journalism. His 1998 undercover exposé of corruption at the heart of Tony Blair’s cabinet, “Lobbygate,” earned him the distinction of being the first journalist in memory berated personally on the floor of Parliament by a prime minister—as well as an award for Story of the Year. His column for Britain’s Observer newspaper, “Inside Corporate America,” and other writings, have won him the Financial Times David Thomas Prize (1997) and nomination as Business journalist of the Year (1999). In America, Palast broke the story of how Katherine Harris and Jeb Bush removed thousands of Black and Democratic voters from registration roles prior to the presidential election. The series of revelations appeared in The Nation, the Washington Post, Harper’s, the Guardian—and in Salon.com which named the exposé Politics Story of the Year. Palast’s investigative reports can also be seen on BBC Television—“Newsnight’s own Sam Spade.” Publication of Democracy and Regulation, Palast’s lectures at Cambridge University and the University of Sao Paulo, coauthored by Theo MacGregor and Jerrold Oppenheim, is forthcoming.
