We're joining with @PEF_online to present this year's conference - CHANGE: NOW! Mobilising the Progressive Majority🤝 With keynote speeches from @garyseconomics, @CarolineLucas and @ZackPolanski actionnetwork.org/ticketed_event…

Andy Burnham won a lifeline for Labour against all odds. Now there’s a lot of work to be done on delivering that promised change. @Neal_Compass for @BBCnews

It’s not yet the finished product, but Andy Burnham has a big offer for the country. @Neal_Compass explains why Andy Burnham could be “a potential sea change in our politics” - and a clear break from Starmerism. @LBCNews @lewis_goodall

If Andy Burnham can make Labour palatable for Makerfield then he can make it palatable for the entire country. The transition to a new Prime Minister must be orderly, but it must happen. @Neal_Compass

The threat of Reform is still potent, even after Andy Burnham’s impressive victory. The challenge now is for him to put forward a programme that can appeal to and mobilise the progressive majority that exists in this country. @Neal_Compass on @LBCNews @lewis_goodall

Full statement: compassonline.org.uk/compass-statem…

Makerfield is a real victory for progressives. But this moment is bigger than one person or one party. Defeating Reform and the causes of Reform requires all of us, working together. The progressive majority must now be activated. Read our full statement below.

With his landslide victory in Makerfield, Andy Burnham has given the Labour Party a lifeline. Yet for @Neal_Compass, this moment was inevitable. @LBCNews @lewis_goodall

That tingle of hope you felt this morning? It comes from Makerfield. Andy Burnham has shown that a bold, purposeful progressive politics can beat Reform. Now he (and we) must deliver. Or the consequences will be grave. @Neal_Compass for the Guardian.

A reminder this is happening tomorrow night! The one-stop-shop for all of your post-Makerfield analysis.

The good society isn't utopian - it's already all around us. @ProfKEPickett has got the examples to back it up. After you've watched, we want to hear yours. Which existing project gives you the most hope? 💭

The details are important - but protecting the development of our children is vital to our future. It's welcome to see state intervention on companies that are changing our society for the worse. The Good Society needs to be actively built every single day.

OUT NOW! We sat down with economist @meadwaj to discuss how progressives can be trusted on the economy and how we re-commit to environmentalism is this fragmented age. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts!

I spoke with Rob, a Makerfield resident and Environment Agency whistleblower featured in Channel 4's 'Dirty Business'. He wants to see Andy Burnham @andy4makerfield elected and water brought into public ownership.

WATCH: I joined host, Manda Scott, and fellow guest, Neal Lawson, co-founder of @CompassOffice, for the latest episode of Accidental Gods, where we discussed the forthcoming by-election in #Makerfield. accidentalgods.life/grown-up-polit…

At 'Change: NOW! Mobilising the Progressive Majority', over 700 progressives came together to figure out how we make this country better. Full video coming next week!

Change: NOW! Mobilising the Progressive Majority was a day for progressives to show the strength we have in our numbers. Read the full review of the day by James Joughin in @SussexBylines 👇

The Makerfield by-election will have ramifications for the entirety of British politics, one way or another. Come join us at 6pm next Friday to dissect it all - with @mainstreamlbr's Kerry Postlewhite, @DantonsHead, @AvaSantina and @Anouschka_Rajah!

Keir Starmer’s time as Prime Minister will be remembered for indecision and an unwillingness to commit to the difficult decisions. You can’t please everyone in Government, yet Starmer has uniquely managed to please no one. Compass on John Healey's resignation as Defence Sec👇

THIS WEEK! Keep your eyes peeled for the next episode of our podcast, It's Bloody Complicated, as we're joined by economist James Meadway (@meadwaj) to discuss just how progressives can be trusted on the economy.
