If our police officers do not have the confidence to pursue dangerous criminals on our behalf, it is the law-abiding public who will suffer.

A measured viewpoint. This is what we need to see when law makers are considering proposed legislation. Clear thinking, setting aside preconceptions in order to examine what is before them, rather than validating what people think is being proposed.
Thank you @dsnorthnorth 🙏

France is heading at full speed towards a presidential runoff between Le Pen and Mélenchon. And the centre has no serious plan to stop it

“In America, Trump’s rise was a by-product of the neo-liberal cult of globalisation.
It was not simply an increase in inequality that stoked “populist” revolt. Whole sections of society were denied any productive role. Capital was exported and manufacturing offshored, labour imported and communities abandoned. With their workless families, drug habits and short lives, the human detritus of American industry could be safely left to moulder on their reservations.
Yet post-industrial decline has now affected much of the middle class. Occupations and career structures have melted into air. Neoliberal economics was the enterprise of re-engineering capitalism without a bourgeoisie, and the hollowing out of middle-class life has continued under Trump’s corporate kleptocracy.”

Professor John Gray, one of the world’s leading political philosophers, returns to UnHerd, where he will write exclusively. In his first essay back, written in the wake of the GOP’s midterm rout, he surveys the wreckage that Donald Trump will leave behind. The President may have figure, argues Gray, but rather than “making America great again”, his follies have hastened the end of the American age. The post-Trump world is post-American.

Spent a morning with West Midlands Police's Tactical Firearms Team.
A lot of them are ex-military and served in another uniform before putting on this one.
The leadership, the discipline and the calm under pressure you learn in the military stays with you. So when someone hould be fighting to keep them serving. Not letting that experience walk out the door….
If you’re leaving the forces and wondering what is next, this is a great option for you to think about 👍👍

Good to see Government reflecting what we’ve been saying for some time.
Greater Manchester needs better trains, not refurbished relics from decades ago. I’ve been pressing the government for investment in the rolling stock.
Oh, and more trains on Sundays… 👀

Burnham said that he would reverse neoliberalism - but what does it mean in practice?
The 10 Year Plan will be the defining moment for the government and the answer to that question.

This looks interesting, open to all. @blue_labour have consistently supported sex realism in law and politics but they've had limited presence in Scotland to date. Is that about to change? Chaired by @KennyFarq, panel includes @dsnorthnorth @zubirahmed

This short book by Michael Sandel is well worth a read.
“It falls to politics to reconcile our identities as consumers and producers.
But the globalisation project sought to maximise economic growth… with little regard for the effect of outsourcing, immigration, and well-being of producers.
The elites who presided over globalisation not only failed to address the inequality it generated; they also failed to appreciate its corrosive effect on the dignity of work”

Should working class people have control over their neighbourhoods?
Of course they should! That’s proper socialism.
Remember: rapid, mass immigration is peak neoliberalism.

I'm chairing a discussion about Blue Labour in a pub in Glasgow one evening next month. You don't have to be a Labour person to come along, you just need to be interested in Scottish politics. Maybe see you there?

Hi Alex. This is a poster that can be used by anyone, such as elderly or vulnerable residents, who do not wish to have unexpected callers or be disturbed. At no point have we mentioned that Halloween can upset "religious or cultural" beliefs.

@NazShahBfd raises an excellent and pertinent point here. The response, not so much.
@NazShahBfd asking the questions that they don't want to hear. Plain parental conversations with their children will fall under the scope of this Bill and the parents will be criminalised. Saying 'No' or 'I don't agree' with a teenager will inevitably cause 'distress'. An answer to answer in the abstract' is not good enough. This is law. We need precision.
