Labour’s conference wasn’t the celebration that it might have been, nor was it the shambles some had hoped for. But Labour does need to get a grip on it’s appalling communications strategy according to Jo Phillips.
This week Jo discusses the fear of privatising the health service, but points out that in some cases it already is.
Do we finally have a Prime Minister who will treat the electorate as adults in Keir Starmer? Jo Phillips thinks so, but asks are we grown up enough to face the truth when he has difficult decisions to make?
As the finding from the Grenfell Tower Inquiry are published, Jo looks at why Red Tape can be important.
As Next could face a £30m bill to compensate workers over the Equality Act, Jo Phillips wonders why some employers still aren’t honouring equal pay obligations.
Labour have inherited appalling, expensive, long term problems but a broken record of blame doesn’t move anything forward. We know whose fault it is, we need to hear what you’re going to do about it.
With A-level results day looming, in this week’s blog, Jo reflects on the trend of declining numbers of school leavers applying to higher education and the change that needs to occur in the further education market.
Which is the England that the EDL is pretending to defend?
It’s game on in the U.S. presidential race and Keir Starmer’s first PMQ’s was exercise in courtesy and restraint.
After years of shouting, ranting and bridge burning, we might start to see something of a restoration of Britian’s global reputation – the King and Keir could be a powerful double act.
Keir Starmer has inherited many problems, but without cash to spend his best hope is to reform and repair the systems and practices that have scuppered.
