I’ve launched a new monthly column for @LabourList on what progressives can learn from the right’s media machine.

For the first piece, I consumed 1,000 hours of GB News, right-wing podcasts and the darker corners of the internet.

Here’s what I learned 🧵

[Harry Quilter-Pinner @harry_qp]

1/ What does Osborne’s austerity and Truss’s mini-budget have in common?

They both misjudged the *constraints* on them.

Commentary on a Burnham premiership must combine ‘Manchesterism’ with an analysis of the constraints he faces, and those he can lift

@ellegist @nbarrett100 We've taken this very seriously. Here's a chart showing the true scale of the North-bat divide.

⏰ A stark warning from the launch of the final report of the @IPPR Commission on Health and Prosperity.

We are the sick man of Europe. That status is costing lives and severely damaging our economy. Children's health is in particular crisis.

But. It doesn't have to be this way

[Carys Roberts @carysroberts]

Some personal news, as they say!

It’ll be tough leaving @IPPR as I’ve loved leading a fantastic team with huge impact.

But I’m honoured & excited to be asked to help shape and deliver such a critical policy agenda at the heart of the new government. Can’t wait to get stuck in!

[Rachel Statham @rachelstatham_]

Some news!

I’ll be joining the Policy Unit at Downing Street from next week, where I’ll be leading on children and young people.

There’s a lot of work to do and the stakes couldn’t be higher. I can’t wait to get stuck in.

[Luke Murphy MP @LukeMLabour]

I couldn’t be prouder to have been elected as Basingstoke’s first ever Labour MP

Whether you voted for me or not, I will work every day to earn and repay your trust, and I will be an MP for the whole of Basingstoke

1/ I have written about the ongoing debate - between what I call the ‘campaigners’ and the ‘technocrats’ - in the Labour Party on how it should govern if it wins a majority on July 4th @NewStatesman https://t.co/6fyQuKFtzL

Too many people are suffering a double injustice of bad health and limited livelihoods

Today we launch our Commission on Health and Prosperity to explore how improved health can be the keystone of a fairer, more prosperous society https://t.co/dOffiFOirH #Health4Prosperity

[IPPR North @IPPRNorth]

After years of central gov rhetoric & little meaningful policy to match it, the UK is more regionally divided than ever with unacceptable consequences for people. That’s the context of this white paper.

@AriannaGi has our initial reaction ⤵️
