During the short time I have been in post, I have been struck by the passion members have for academic endeavour in the area of social policy, and your insistence that it should contribute to a world that takes better care of those who cannot always take care of themselves. This shines through in the time and attention devoted to the tribute to Peter Townsend that dominates these pages, and I hope Nick (Policy World designer) and I have served that investment well. I hope you enjoy this issue, and I look forward to meeting more of you before too long.

  • 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.

The fight for equality begins in the streets. The history of inequality is a long and terrible one. And it’s not over yet.

  • Policy Paper 2017/18
    IDEAS INTO ACTION: BUILDING THE OPEN LEFT WWW.OPENLABOUR.ORG IDEAS INTO ACTION: BUILDING THE OPEN LEFT This document outlines an initial set of political positions for Open Labour, building on our launch statement. It provides a mandate to our newly renamed National Committee (NC) to carry out a programme of action, to make public arguments on behalf of the organisation, and to adopt campaigns within the Labour Party which meet our strategic and policy priorities. The document was proposed by our interim Management Committee to our Founding Conference in March 2017, which was attended by 23 0 people. It was adopted with the inclusion of a range of amendments. Those seeking further information about the contents of the document can get in touch with us at [email protected]. The document also marks the end of the steering phase of Open Labour’s development. As a statement of intent it is entitled ‘Ideas into Action: Building the Open Left’. This reflects our intention as an organisation not to resign to a polarised Labour Party where debate is curtailed and closed down, but to respond with ideas and action for something better. We will renew the realist strand of the Labour left as the ‘open left’, define and argue for this as a valid and independent tradition of thought and action, and campaign and organise to carry its objectives into being. The newly election National Committee would like to record our thanks to the Management Committee members who brought Open Labour through its first months. Interim Management Committee 2015-17 Tom Miller and Bev Craig (Co-chairs), Rose Grayston (Secretary), Alex Sobel (Treasurer), Jade Azim (Editor), Tom Williams (Membership), Ann Black, George Lindars-Hammond, Yue Ting Cheng, Andy Howell, Kaveh Azarhoosh, Joanne Rust, David Hamblin, Craig Dawson.
