Typically interesting and considered essay from @schneiderhome - much to agree with, some I don't: 2017 was far more a balance between populism and anti-populism than is made out here, and reassembling coalition it sustained is necessary in future... 1/n opendemocracy.net/en/rethinking-…
2/n ...and he is right to stress "against state" elements of GND, but this should go further: GND (if we use framing) must include adaptation and common ownership outside of the state...
3/n ...but it's an important rejoinder to the claim that (Brexit aside) it was comms that failed in 2019. The disjoint and mismatch between largely populist comms and largely technocratic policy was too great to work.
4/4 ...it would be useful in future to think through how the "from below" economic elements of Corbynism, around which there is a broad Labour Party consensus (worker ownership, Preston Model, etc) can be built into a populist comms strategy and framing.
