This is probably the happiest I've been with a piece of work yet, would appreciate it if you check it out!😃

I will also thank the Young Fabians and their fantastic editor for giving me the opportunity. ✍️

On the blog, @Cassian_Sav offers an exploration and his own conception of socialist theory 🟥

Exit Poll at 10 o'clock: Labour on 410 and Conservatives on 131 seats feels quit underwhelming.

It's a historic win, but maybe not destructive enough for the Tories.

[Cassian🌌🌹 @Cassian_Sav]

@AliKh1886 Better question; Keir Starmer or Harold Wilson? 🙂

[Cassian🌌🌹 @Cassian_Sav]

@AliKh1886 Reminded me of Ted Heath and Jack Jones, although that's a very different situation/context. (they met each other in the Spanish Civil War, where they both volunteered to fight against Franco, etc.)

#OTD 1945. Landslide. Clement Attlee becomes first PM to lead a majority Labour government.

Winning a 146 seat majority, he says "It will give heart to all those all the world over who believe in freedom, democracy and social justice"

@AliKh1886 Councils are planning to ban them by 2024, things can only get better...

[Cassian🌌🌹 @Cassian_Sav]

@AliKh1886 Same old lines of attack... it's not 2015 anymore.

[Cassian🌌🌹 @Cassian_Sav]

Any 'progressive alliance' is fundamentally anti-Labourite, anti-Socialist, and against the good of working people.

I've written why Labour was right to expel Neal Lawson from the party...

An absolute highlight of my time in New Zealand has been meeting Bryan Gould. He is a man of principle -- someone I greatly admire and respect.

Had Gould been elected UK Labour leader in 1992, I believe he would have become a transformative, socialist prime minister

Soaring mortgages, food prices skyrocketing, bills reaching record highs.

This is the cost of 13 years of Tory economic failure.

Yesterday Labour proposed a new, publicly-owned renewable energy provider

73% of Britons - including 68% of Tory voters - would support the creation of such an entity

@J_A_Pearce The Labour Party has its doors wide open!

@AliKh1886 Sadly for them, perhaps the most unremarkable generation of modern times.

[Cassian🌌🌹 @Cassian_Sav]

@richardmarcj From what I've read on his theory about the relationship between Socialism and Democracy, he could have very well been a replacement for Crosland in the '50's, a leading theorist.

I would consider him much to the left of Gaitskell/Crossland; a Clause IV Socialist.

[Ali @AliKh1886]

We usually think of Keir Starmer as super cautious and moderate but I actually think the way he has taken the centre left out of a particular complacent and at times tone deaf comfort zone has been quite radical and even iconoclastic

It's a good idea but the problem is that 'right to buy' will wipe out any progress made on this front within the same decade...

@AliKh1886 Don't forget to wear a vest too next time!!😆

[Cassian🌌🌹 @Cassian_Sav]

@AliKh1886 The Labour party post-Miliband had also consistently failed to offer an alternative with very vague immigration policy commitments under Corbyn.

The electorate couldn't trust a party not offering clear net migration caps, whereas the Tories at least pretended to have them.

[Cassian🌌🌹 @Cassian_Sav]

@AliKh1886 The electorate was, unfortunately, too poorly educated to understand what "getting Brexit done" truly meant for the Tories. They fell into the trap in which the Tories wanted them to fall into; they believed what they pre-concieved in their minds and not what the manifestos said.
