A real debate on ensuring social care doesn't run people's lives is well past welcome. And if Andy Burnham wants inspiration, he has to look no further than South Yorkshire. Compass Director Neal Lawson for @theipaper.com.

🌊Water shouldn't be a commodity. It should be a public good. Over 160,000 people have signed a petition demanding a referendum on public ownership of water - enough to force a debate in Parliament on Monday 14th September. Help me fill the room: actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-...

“John Healey is not the first person you think of as your Chancellor.” Did Andy Burnham give the top job to the wrong person?

🌊 Fantastic to see another council call for water to be brought back into public hands! Privatised water means shareholders gain and we pay for their mess. We're sick of it. Cornwall Council is now one of a dozen councils standing up for what 82% of the public want.

We always say that our members are the lifeblood of Compass, and last week showed that. It was incredible to see their passion, ideas and energy at our first ever Membership Convention - identifying challenges, exploring opportunities & debating where Compass can have the greatest impact.

Public ownership is the only viable model to make Britain's water industry work for customers. Talk of mutualisation or not-for-profit models simply faces the same problems we're seeing right now. Compass Deputy Director Lena Swedlow for @labourlist.bsky.social.

PM Andy Burnham's instincts are right so far - but if he is to get Britain out of this political mire then he must stick to his promise to 'end business as usual'. That means wholesale democratic, electoral and economic reform. Compass Director Neal Lawson for the @newstatesman1913.bsky.social.

This is a momentous day, but there's a huge challenge ahead for Andy Burnham.

The future belongs to “high-energy” progressives – @geoffmulgan.bsky.social writes on Mamdani, Burnham and the three fears the left must conquer. www.arguably.uk/p/the-three-...

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE 'PROGRESSIVE'? This is a question we are constantly asked. Advocating for 'progressive' politics, mobilising the 'progressive majority' - it's a fair question. Our new paper, authored by @geoffmulgan.bsky.social, is out today - and it answers just that.

British politics isn’t The Nigel Farage Show and it’s time we stopped treating it as such. Living costs are through the roof, public services are in disarray and global instability is widespread. A government under new leadership has the potential to tackle these - the causes of Reform - head on.
