‘If Labour does win, they are not exactly going to face a honeymoon from anyone.’
Lord Walney discusses what he would imagine British politics could look like under a Labour Government.
Building respectful politics means ending the abuse and intimation that discourages so many from entering political life, and particularly impacts diverse representation.
Our latest blog explores why respectful politics matters for us all ⬇️

This is worth listening to.

MP, Secretary of State for Business and Trade, addressing the recent tribunal ruling regarding the disgraced academic David Miller, offers a strong condemnation of those who harass Jewish students.
Thank you, Ms Badenoch!
This sinister ‘Training Day Application Form’ from Palestine Action underlines why groups who use serious lawbreaking as a core tactic to get their way should face restrictions on their ability to operate. The next govt should act on the recommendations in my review.
The Daily Record has not backed one party at a General Election in 14 years, but next week’s vote is about setting Scotland and the UK on a different path, based on prosperity and fairness. Change is coming and Scots should be part of that by voting Labour.

This has to stop. Those people making reference to the colour he’s using for his statement, have a word with yourself. That’s not the issue here. It’s incredibly worrying for democracy. Debate not hate.
Well said. The arrogance of extreme protestors and lack of sufficient deterrent is seeing escalation of art and cultural vandalism. I hope the next government will act on recommendations set out in my recent review
'A bigger majority will help Labour in being able to set priorities for change in the country.'
Lord Walney assesses the likelihood of the Labour Party seeing a 'super majority' at the election and explains why it is better than a narrow one.
As we remember our friend Jo Cox on the anniversary of her murder, the threats being faced by candidates in this election are deeply alarming. Wrote this in the Sunday Express today.
Eight years ago today, on 16 June 2016, Jo Cox was tragically murdered while on her way to a constituency surgery in Batley and Spen.
In the days that followed, the global wave of grief and solidarity demonstrated that her values were widely shared.

The Labour candidate Tan Dhesi abused in Slough yesterday.
What's notable about these horrid videos is that it is not a "heat of the moment" outburst, followed by embarrassment.
No, they film the abuse and post it. They're proud of being thugs.
Been same here, threats of intimidation and harrassment in this campaign mean that planned events are nearly impossible to go to. People forget that for instance in my case there have been 3 people imprisoned for harassing me including in the past threats to kill my children
