  • Keir Starmer's U Turns

    Keir Starmer's U Turns
    Jun 28 2025
    Are Sir Keir Starmer’s u-turns the sign of a wea and indecisive leader or evidence of someone willing to change their mind and listen to reasoned arguments? The Prime Minister has backtracked, to a greater or lesser degree, on cuts to winter fuel payments, whether or not to hold a national inquiry into grooming gangs, and now disability benefits. He’s also told His biographer Tom Baldwin in The Observer that he regrets previously suggesting that Britain was at risk of becoming "an island of strangers" because of migration… a speech carrying echoes of Enoch Powell and which provides the theme for this month’s print edition of Byline Times. In a conversation on the Byline Supplement to mark its launch, Byline times executive editor Peter Jukes was joined by editor in chief Hardeep Matharu and political edtor Adam Bienkov.

  • "It's The Cost Of Living, Stupid" - Electoral Lessons For Progressives.

    "It's The Cost Of Living, Stupid" - Electoral Lessons For Progressives.
    Jun 27 2025
    What lessons should progressive political parties who want to win elections be learning? Adrian Goldberg hears from Sam Alvis a former Labour party advisor, who worked in Jeremy Corbyn’s shadow treasury team and with Ed Miliband on energy policy. Sam recently returned from Washington, where he met with Joe Biden’s former White House staff, along with Senators and Representatives to ask what went wrong for the Democrats. Sam has co-written a report for the Institute of Public Policy Research called "It’s The Cost Of Living, Stupid", riffing on Bill Clinton’s former mantra, and it comes as Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour government sets out a long term industrial strategy for the UK.
