The Case for Community Wealth Building, by @joecguinan and @martin_oneill, out TODAY (22 November 2019) from @politybooks!
Our broken economic model drives inequality and lines the pockets of corporations while extracting wealth from communities. How can we reverse this?

Sjajan razgovor! Hvala svima koji su došli, a pre svega našim dragim gostima @martin_oneill i @joecguinan iz @DemocracyCollab
Decenijama su Klivlend i Preston trpeli posledice deindustrijalizacije i gubitka radnih mesta. Umesto da čekaju da razvoj dođe spolja, okrenuli su se resursima koje već imaju: univerzitetima, bolnicama, lokalnim samoupravama, javnoj potrošnji, lokalnim preduzećima i zadrugama. Tako su nastali važni primeri pristupa poznatog kao Community Wealth Building — izgradnja bogatstva zajednice. O tome šta možemo naučiti iz iskustava Klivlenda i Prestona i kako bi sličan zaokret mogao da izgleda u Nišu razgovaraće Džo Gajnan @joecguinan i Martin O’Nil @martin_oneill , autori knjige The Case for Community Wealth Building (Zašto nam je potrebna izgradnja bogatstva zajednice), sa poslanicima Zeleno-levog fronta Đorđem Pavićevićem I Rastislavom Dinićem. Može li Niš da gradi budućnost od institucija, znanja i ljudi koje već ima?

Can York and North Yorkshire blaze a trail for exactly the kind of devolution of economic power that Andy Burnham is promising to deliver more widely?

I have a post on the @UniOfYork Social Change blog, on the launch of the report of the Community Wealth Building Commission for York & North Yorkshire @YNYCombined, set up by Mayor @DSkaith @YNYMayor, on which I was honoured to serve as a commissioner.

I have written this short article with Professor @martin_oneill for @RenewalJournal.
For the new Burnham government to seriously challenge one of the most extractive economic systems in the western world, after decades of damaging neoliberal economics, we need radical change, not skirting round the edges.
A central component of this must be a more democratic economy including a new Community Wealth Building Act.

I've written a short piece for @RenewalJournal with @MatthewBrownLab, Leader of Preston City Council and main architect of the Preston Model of Community Wealth Building, on what Andy Burnham needs to do if he's serious about changing the British economy.

Amazing shameless for disgraced MP and Mandelson/McSweeney factional operative Josh Simons to do this.
He evidently wants to replace Starmer with someone *even worse*.
People like Josh Simons will turn out to be the cause of the death of the Labour Party. 👇👇 1/2

I am proud to call @MatthewBrownLab a friend. Over the past decade he has been one of the most hard-working and imaginative people in local government in this country.
Here’s to the ongoing success of the #PrestonModel 👇
My friend and colleague @MatthewBrownLab is battling for the future of the Preston Model tomorrow. His visionary and dedicated work to build community wealth through a fundamental rewiring of the local economy deserves better than to have to swim against the anti-Starmer tide. ✊🏼

I worked in local govt. from 1985-2021. I was lucky to start my career at Livingstone’s GLC & I would’ve loved to have worked for a council like Preston. As the post below suggests let’s hope the inspirational Preston Council doesn’t suffer because of Starmer & Labour Together.
It's a grave injustice of British politics that the brilliant achievements of imaginative and courageous local Labour politicians like @MatthewBrownLab have been jeopardised by the destructive wrecking of McSweeney, Simons, Starmer, and their ilk.

.@MichaelRosenYes is right -- the full story of Labour Together, and the internal coup plotted by Peter Mandelson, Morgan McSweeney & their functionary Josh Simons, is all there in Paul Holden's book, @StarmertheFraud, which the establishment media is still studiously ignoring.👇
Could we make sure that no one books Paul Holden for articles or media interviews as to how possibly it could have happened that Starmer appointed Mandelson? Oh hang on. No need for this tweet. No one’s booking him anyway. #LabourTogether #McSweeney Book: ‘The Fraud’ #Ignore

At a time when the world is constantly assailed by violence, greed and stupidity, and imperilled by the chaos caused by the self-aggrandisement of Trump and his gang, there is great value in the calm, humane voice of Pope Leo, who is laying out some basic truths here. 👇

Don’t let the least popular government of modern times take away one of your most ancient rights. Keep jury trials, dump Starmer Labour.
David Lammy’s proposal to diminish your democratic right to trial by jury makes its way to Parliament today:
More than 3,200 lawyers including 300 top barristers and retired judges have called on the government to drop a plan to abolish some jury trials.
