This Government's vision needs to be delivered sooner rather than later.

Compass' statement on the Budget 👇

[Mark Perryman @MarkPerryman]

I can think of a fair few who'd disagree.
Personally I prefer a democratic socialism (most defintely NOT social democracy) primary influence Gramsci via Hall which is red-green with a militant practice of pluralism. But that's a bit of a mouthful, and a half!

@MarkPerryman @labourlewis @Neal_Compass @JOwusuNepaul @catarnold_ @BrynHGriffiths @jonbloomfield2 There is no Labour Hard Left, Mark.

[Ewan Gibbs @ewangibbs]

I've certainly answered to worse!

[Daniela Gabor @DanielaGabor]

you'll hear lots of 'how do we pay for?' questions abt budget today.

my new report argue that UK government should use its new powers to mandate pension investments in Public Essentials Fund (PEF) and eliminate privatisation premium paid by citizens and local councils.

Burnham was never going to win over Labour's hard left, now he's losing the soft left too, which only leaves ...

Ending 40 years of neoliberalism can only be delivered by radical action to facilitate wholesale change to the economy.

"The Government must embrace far more radical solutions to deliver the change Britain desperately needs."

[HOPE not hate @hopenothate]

HOPE not hate welcomes today’s verdict. A jury has found Stephen Lennon, also known as Tommy Robinson, guilty on both counts of harassing journalists and causing them to fear violence.

The intimidation was so severe that the journalists had to flee their homes with their families.

[Ewan Gibbs @ewangibbs]

Thanks to friends old and new who packed out Leith Arches last night for the Edinburgh launch of An Injury to All: The Unmaking of the British Working Class. And thanks also to @balumcarnes who did a great job of hosting and chairing.

[Taj Ali @Taj_Ali1]

Looking forward to joining @ewangibbs for his book launch in Glasgow tomorrow. Come along! @CaltonBooks will be selling copies of our books.

There are still some spots available for my Hobsbawm launch @ToppingsEdin on Friday at 19:00. Come celebrate with me! (Or just listen to Rory's penetrating questions...)

[Paul Hilder @paulhilder]

Burnham is winning back more progressives first, but he’s also making inroads with former Reform defectors and “red wall patriots” — this thread is well worth reading

[Jeremy Gilbert @jemgilbert]

We honestly can't have too many books about that generation of activists. I'm not being sarcastic or wry. Looking forward to this one.
