“London and Birmingham are not far apart, nor are they separated by mountains. High‑speed railways are not an experimental technology. Europe has networks covering thousands of kilometres. It is embarrassing that the UK has managed just one opened in 2007” Total! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Are Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves following in the steps of the Wilson Govt - or another Labour administration from the distant past? Terrific but chilling insights from @steverichards.bsky.social. Reminds me to re-read Robert Skidelsky’s “Politicians and the Slump.” Also highly recommended.

One of his best. I covered the 29-31 Labour government in my undergrad degree (special paper on the Keynesian Revolution); but @steverichards.bsky.social's analogy between now and then (based on the search for respectability and the grip of outdated orthodoxy) hadn't occurred to me. Spot-on, though!

This was brilliant. Worth a listen if you’ve noticed the dearth of big picture / systems thinking in today’s politics. The solutions are not that difficult.

Delighted to hear my email read out by @steverichards.bsky.social on Rock & Roll Politics. I recommend you listen to the whole episode and subscribe, but you can hear the thoughts of a self-confessed 'academic librarian, arch centrist and increasingly concerned Labour member' at precisely 55mins...😄
