Very excited to be starting a Substack - writing about politics, education, strategy among other things. First post live today about what the Labour government needs to do to get back on the front foot this autumn. Please, read, share and subscribe. peterhyman21.substack.com

The first 100 days matter. So does the second and third. How can government become more strategic and get a grip? peterhyman21.substack.com/p/the-first-10… @Dannythefink @campbellclaret @RSylvester1 @JohnRentoul @Peston @robertshrimsley

Why we need more authentic MPs who are not just lobby fodder. Burnham is right to want change. peterhyman21.substack.com/p/whiplash-why… @JohnRentoul @RSylvester1 @Peston @robertshrimsley @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK

The PM-in-waiting is our last hope for a mainstream politician who can capture the anti-Westminster mood for change ✏️ @PeterHyman21 buff.ly/QVgcdlm

Former strategist for Keir Starmer and Tony Blair @PeterHyman21, tells @ChristopherHope 'what I think the Government hasn't done sufficiently, is carried on mission Government in Government.' Watch in full: youtu.be/Uh-ZL3xT9IA

These are the 25 people to do so. peterhyman21.substack.com/p/the-25-peopl… @campbellclaret @Peston @robertshrimsley @stephenkb @Dannythefink @amolrajan @RSylvester1

Labour’s caution has left us drifting into Farage’s waters. But a universal basic wealth, massive devolution and a new voting system could help turn the ship around ✏️ @PeterHyman21 buff.ly/yxYnNDY

Today Shuab Gamote and I launch Inside the Mind of a young NEET - the result of listening to 400 young people across the UK. It is full of powerful, at times heartbreaking, and important stories - and should be a spur to action. @campbellclaret @robertshrimsley @JohnRentoul @RSylvester1 @amolrajan @bbcnickrobinson @Peston Download the report here and please share. peterhyman21.substack.com/p/inside-the-m…

Keir Starmer’s order of priorities in opposition, in a “Diamond Nine” exercise run by @PeterHyman21 peterhyman21.substack.com/p/diamond-nine

The view from here: am sitting in the garden reading @liambyrnemp’s superb - and ultimately optimistic - book about the rise of populism. Beautifully written & compelling. Thanks to @PeterHyman21 for recommending it. Meanwhile, in truth, guard dog Molly B shows little interest.

Five Substacks worth your time. Apologies it’s so blokey this time. @PeterHyman21 on Liverpool's social innovators "citizens with their ideas, lived experience and entrepreneurial spirit, and institutions with their resource, expertise and networks" peterhyman21.substack.com/p/the-hidden-e…

A technique to get to the heart of what matters most - the Diamond Nine - and how I used it with Keir Starmer with interesting results. peterhyman21.substack.com/p/diamond-nine @itvpeston @robertshrimsley @Dannythefink @MattChorley @JohnRentoul

This is fascinating from @PeterHyman21 - asked to order his priorities, Starmer’s first instinct was inequality open.substack.com/pub/peterhyman…

With controversy still surrounding the Cabinet Secretary appointment, even more reason to scrap the post. peterhyman21.substack.com/p/8-reasons-wh… @ChrisMasonBBC @Peston @krishgm @MattChorley @SamCoatesSky @JohnRentoul
