I've filmed in that jail. Worse than everything was the banality and casualness of the cruelty: "we charge 'em above market rates to phone their relatives" Joe proudly told me...

Labour's new urgency on climate change is thrilling - but we need to be honest: the outcome won't look much like the capitalism of the past 200 years. newstatesman.com/politics/econo…

Wealth is twice as unequally distributed as income, so why are we taxing income so much more than wealth?

... b) the progressive people exploited in the entire social factory - work, rents, consumption, sexuality, finance - who want to change things. That includes millions who live in small towns who can't stand the racist bullshit being spread by Farage etc...

6/ I don't recognise the concept of the "traditional working class" - unless it's code for "white". As EP Thomspon wrote: classes form around a project. I want Labour to represent a) the actual working-class of Britain, inc 2.7m EU citizens... and ...

5/ ... for me "postcapitalism" is not vaguely defined: it is a low work, high abundance society based on socialised knowledge and a large non-market sector...

4/ Next there's this confused attack on post-operaism... I've never said "prosperity will be driven by intangible assets" - in Postcaptialism I said these don't exist. Beyond that it's not clear what Cruddas thinks is the evidence that proves us wrong... plus... pic.twitter.com/u3z9FNMk9T

3/ As a result, Labour's offer has to be - to a declining, ageing culturally skeptical "traditional" working class of the small towns: massive economic investment and local control.

2/ In #Postcaptialism I said the new subject of history is the networked educated person, which is the proletariat sublated - i.e. destroyed and reborn at a higher level... for me this is akin to the difference between the skilled weavers of the18C and factory workers of the 19C

1/ Here's what @JonCruddas_1 writes about my position. It is unarguable that the educated/skilled working class of the big cities are the "new core" of the Labour project: they're 2/3 of the 500k membership and they are culturally relatively immune to the neo-right... pic.twitter.com/uByesIeInr

This latest attack on the left Remain/Transform position by @JonCruddas_1 mischaracterises years of work by me and others, on networked individualism and post capitalism. Switch off if you find social theory too hard to do on Twitter... theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

'No Deal' Brexit would unleash a free-market fanaticism that Thatcher only dreamt of, with even the NHS up for grabs.
Labour backs a Public Vote as we have to do all we can to stop this threat
But that’s not enough. We also need a General Election so we can kick out the Tories! pic.twitter.com/DFBSzanwL5

The penny is finally dropping in the City... a transition beyond carbon demands a transition beyond financialised capitalism: there are no market solutions and the tech solutions require a radical restructure of the economy... twitter.com/dancardenmp/st…
