I heard one thing loud and clear in Andy Burnhamâs landmark speech: the left has won the arguments | Owen Jones (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The PMâs stated trajectory is a rebuke to past Tory and Labour governments. The challenge now is to make his project progressive in word and deed As Andy Burnham delivered his conference speech to the Labour faithful yesterday, it was hard not to recall Jeremy Corbynâs words after the partyâs shattering 2019 election defeat. âI am proud that on austerity, on corporate power, on inequality and the climate emergency,â he wrote for this publication, âwe have won the arguments and rewrit
The west is in freefall â and the worst part is that we were warned, but chose not to listen | Owen Jones (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Endless pursuit of wealth and power by western leaders led us here. What strikes me most is how many saw what was coming The symptoms of decline are everywhere you look. On Sunday, Germanyâs far right won another state election, taking nearly 40% of the vote in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. France is preparing a â¬54bn fiscal squeeze, which could turn the screw still further on a foundering so-called European social model. At the UN general assembly, Donald Trump once again threatened to â
As Reform celebrates £72m in donations, tell me this: are you ready to see two rich men buy our democracy? | Owen Jones (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Itâs not just that Nigel Farage claimed his movement abhorred the super-rich. Itâs also the obscenity of individuals seeking so much sway over who runs the country As £72m in donations makes its way to Reform UKâs bank accounts, consider what Nigel Farage said on the eve of Britainâs vote to leave the European Union a decade ago. âThis referendum is the people versus the establishment,â he declared. âIt is the vested interest, itâs the rich, itâs the big business.â Just two
Andy Burnham presents his new government as more leftwing. In reality, itâs barely moved at all | Owen Jones (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The prime minister talks the talk about reversing decades of privatisation and austerity, but weâre yet to see any policies to this end If Starmerism sought to present the Labour government as more rightwing than it is, Burnhamism seeks to do the opposite. The change in rhetoric is certainly stark. Unlike his sulking predecessor, the new prime minister offers both an analysis and a vision. British stagnation and decline, Andy Burnham correctly told the House of Commons, can be explained by a s
So Nigel Farage has beaten a man in a bin. But he's in deep trouble, and he knows it | Owen Jones (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Reform leader claims vindication from the people, and itâs too early to write him off. But the problems he now faces may be more than he can bear Nigel Farage is a rattled, embattled politician. Perhaps he feels buoyed up by securing slightly more votes in a byelection boycotted by all the main parties than he did in the general election two years ago. That was despite 10,000 fewer people turning out to vote. But there was never any question that he was going to win a byelection he called
