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👇

Compelling read from brilliant Compass member @Francis_W_Shin. All serious contenders for Labour Party leadership want to move Britain closer to the EU. But without electoral reform, any reset risks being torn up by the next Eurosceptic government. 👇

The two-party system has fractured, and it isn't coming back. The question now is whether the progressive majority in this country can find a way to come together and win on a bold progressive mandate. Andy Burnham's pitch to lead Labour and keep out Reform rests on that plan.

Today I raised an urgent question in parliament about the systemic failures in the water sector. The constants disasters of privatised water are not the symptoms of market failure. This is the market working as designed: profits out, sewage in, cost of living up, security of supply, decimated. You can no more regulate privatised water companies than you can the tide. So I asked the Minister for Water: how many more failures, how many more inquiries, how many more deaths - before the Government accepts these problems are systemic – and gives the public the option of taking their water back?

On 30th May, nearly a thousand progressives - from different parties and none - chose to walk through the same door at #ChangeNOW. Because the threat of the far right is real. And we can only beat them if we're hopeful, bold, and united. Full speeches coming soon.

At the local elections, Reform swept away progressive parties in much of the North East, exploiting First Past the Post. Progressive parties need to work collaboratively to stand up for progressive voters in left behind areas. @NEBylines's Peter Sagar outlines the scale of this progressive tragedy:

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came to Change:NOW! on Saturday 30th May! We were amazed to see so many people travel to London and spend a sunny, hot day with us. 💥750 attendees 🔥70 speakers 💗20 fantastic volunteers It was an incredible day, but more than that, it was real proof that, whatever divides us as progressives, there’s much more that unites us. So let’s move forward, change this country and defeat the far-right for good - together.

A couple of weeks ago, our Director Neal Lawson joined the New Statesman's @meganekenyon at our Brighton event, asking 'What's next for Progressive Politics?' We're thrilled to see people coming together asking the important questions to drive our movement forward.

South East Water left thousands of homes in Kent without access to water on the hottest days of the year so far. Yet another shocking example of the failure of privatisation. Given the scale of the crisis in the water sector, a purely regulatory approach is like putting a complaints box on the Titanic. Public ownership is the only real solution, as I told the Water Minister in parliament yesterday.
