In the hands of the many. 8216; progress is not the elimination of struggle, but rather a change in its terms. 8217; - Aneurin Bevan. Building a future that works after #oct20. BUILDING A FUTURE THAT WORKS. 8220; Name, occupation, affiliation”. As much as people want to say. It feels like we're being pushed backwards by the rising cost of living – food, fuel, housing, credit, transport – and by the government's threat to employment protections and other policies, but we have tools to our adva...If you we...

In the hands of the many. 8216; progress is not the elimination of struggle, but rather a change in its terms. 8217; - Aneurin Bevan. Can culture cut it in Darlington? This was published in The Northern Echo. How should Darlington respond to public sector cuts. Should it close its theatre, start a volunteer group to run its swimming pool or privatise its parks? Paul Harman tells why he is calling a public meeting to discuss the future of arts and leisure in the town. DARLINGTON faces a cultural crisis.

in the hands of the many: Warning of #Pasokification, not yearning for it

In the hands of the many. 8216; progress is not the elimination of struggle, but rather a change in its terms. 8217; - Aneurin Bevan. Warning of #Pasokification, not yearning for it. People stop me in the street and they ask me how I wrote Pasokification. Actually, they don't. Most people have no idea what I’m banging on about, and those that do usually tell me to shut up about it. Obviously, I refuse. And, because it mentions me, I thought I’d respond. Am I yearning for the Pasokification of Labour?

In the hands of the many. 8216; progress is not the elimination of struggle, but rather a change in its terms. 8217; - Aneurin Bevan. Darlington Labour gives hope in hard times. A month later, at the end of the campaign - and also at the end of the coalition's first year in power - Labour gained five seats across three wards in Darlington. Thanks to the hard work of candidates, party members, and supporters - and the borough's Labour MP, Jenny Chapman, the Darlington Labour Party increased its majority o...

In the hands of the many. 8216; progress is not the elimination of struggle, but rather a change in its terms. 8217; - Aneurin Bevan. A ConDem anti-cuts group? An unusual letter, by a "group" unrelated to the established Darlington against Cuts. Campaign, appeared in The Northern Echo on Saturday:. One Darlington - Perfectly Placed" is the council's community strategy and it talks about Darlington being a good place to live and work. While we understand the arguments about cuts, we feel the rush to be th...

In the hands of the many. 8216; progress is not the elimination of struggle, but rather a change in its terms. 8217; - Aneurin Bevan. A ballot with your policy on it? This was recently published at Labour Left. Jon Lansman kindly commented and alerted me to an oversight on my part, and I've included my response/correction* below this:. Yet some of our organising remains the same as when participation was much harder, and is now hollowed out by the lack of trust in collective action to deliver the goods.

In the hands of the many. 8216; progress is not the elimination of struggle, but rather a change in its terms. 8217; - Aneurin Bevan. Where's all the money gone? It's not easy to answer that question. As Dan Hind. Says, "We have been marinading in nonsense for so long that, if someone tells you how the monetary system works, they will sound like a crank, even if what they are telling you is true.". Appropriately for an event taking place on one of the nights that Darlington for Culture. 8221; – we ...

In the hands of the many. 8216; progress is not the elimination of struggle, but rather a change in its terms. 8217; - Aneurin Bevan. After marching, it's time to campaign and vote for Labour's alternative. Yesterday, I took part in the largest protest to take place in the UK for many years. Organised by the Trades Union Congress. The March for the Alternative called for the government to put jobs, growth, and justice at the forefront of its economic plans. Sadly, the Tory/Liberal government has abandone...

In the hands of the many. 8216; progress is not the elimination of struggle, but rather a change in its terms. 8217; - Aneurin Bevan. Some thoughts on the protests in Western Europe and North America over the banking crisis and austerity cuts, and what this all means for those of us committed to the strengthening and extension of democracy through participation in formal politics. The City versus the citizens, now the citizens versus the City? Throwing open Overton's window. To replicate the US example, ...
