What were they thinking? Former police officer @Jonathan_Hinder writes for @FutureLeft1 on the Henry Nowak killing and the police response.

"To me it's unfathomable"
Former police officer and Labour MP, Jonathan Hinder, criticises the actions of police in the murder of Henry Nowak by Vickrum Digwa: "the use of handcuffs is just impossible to explain".

The armchair critics, dug into their opposing positions, seize on any individual incident to support their sweeping conclusions about the motivations and performance of 140,000 officers. So are the police now “woke”, or racist? It is hard to keep up as the pendulum wildly swings.
"Watching the body-worn camera footage as a former officer, I cannot understand why the officers were not quicker in treating this as a medical emergency, but the ensuing public debate has been woefully ill-informed." writes @Jonathan_Hinder

The long shadow of Tony Blair has once again cast itself over the Labour party.
Jonathan Rutherford writes the definitive response.
"What Labour politicians called progress, was experienced by many as the destruction of their way of life and of their country."

What unites Blue Labour and the soft left?
What unites the old right and the Socialist Campaign Group?
I've written for @NewStatesman on how reindustrialisation can unite Labour - and what that means for 'Manchesterism'.

Dispatches from a discontented country.
First up, @_SiobhanCT on the two faces of Margate.
"Someone tried to open a jazz bar opposite Elsewhere a few years ago. It closed within a year. You can’t put a jazz bar in a Shoe Zone, we said. Now they’ve put the Greens in Margate."

And finally, Jason Cowley writes the PM's political obituary: "Increasingly when he speaks nothing occurs to me. He repeats his key words – change, renewal, working people, hardworking people – but you have the sense that no one is listening. There is only the echo of the void."

Last week, the country expressed itself at the ballot box. While Westminster once again obsesses about Westminster, we are publishing dispatches from across the country - from Margate to Liverpool, South Wales to Newcastle, Bromley to Blackburn.

This is very good and features a necessarily brutal account of the Welsh picture by @dai_alectic.
