With news of an apparent 14,000 word essay from Keir Starmer it may be time for Pragmatic Radicalism to get going again - harvesting great ideas from whichever quarter, doing so in a fun, outward-looking way that puts into practice the view that everyone has something to add

Great to hear reports of @Keir_Starmerās address to @UKLabour PLP, telling MPs the party needs to āmoderniseā & āface outwards not inwardsā.
I & others founded @PragRad in 2011 with these themes in mind.
Iād be happy to help Keirās office as they move forward. š¹ šŖ
