It was clear at the start that appointing the twice-sacked Peter Mandelson wasn’t a move of political genius. It was risky, it was flawed and, most importantly, it was entirely unnecessary.

It was, at the end of the day, a political appointment - a reward for getting this faction into power.

But come what may next month, one thing is clear: the progressive parties cannot afford to waste this moment. The progressive majority in Wales depends upon it.

Last year's conference, 'CHANGE: HOW?', brought over 450 progressives together to push the Labour government to deliver on a decade of renewal.

But one party or one movement don't have the solutions. The progressive majority in Britain needs mobilising.

Both Andy Burnham and Caroline Lucas have spoken passionately in favour of PR so perhaps this is the place to be for the fight for Proportional Representation!

The Thames Water creditors are closing in on a deal - urge your MP to stop them An action to write to MPs urging them to reject the Thames Water creditors' attempts to takeover the utility, signing off on pollution till 2030

🚨Stop the Thames Water creditors 🚨

The creditors are closing in on a deal

They want to dodge fines and dump sewage freely

This deal would reward Thames Water's abysmal failure, setting a tragic new low for every single water company

We've got to stop them. Email your MP now.

🌊This is how privatisation works:
1. Underinvest, pile on debt, and siphon off billions in dividends.
2. Send the bill to the public when you’ve turned rivers into open sewers.
3. Repeat.

Time to kick out profiteers and put the public in control. Time for public ownership.

Lessons from Down Under - Compass A conversation between the Compass team and a representative of Albanese's Australian Labor Party.

The Australian Labor Party did something most social democrats can't this decade - win ANOTHER election.

But how did they do it and what can UK Labour learn?

We sat down with New South Wales Legislative Council Member Anthony d'Adam to find out.

The Right would rather eat each other become allies.

The public would rather they eat each other too.

Progressives can't afford to waste this chance. The progressive majority exists and now is the time to make it a reality.

Will Labour embrace electoral reform? The party has had a fraught relationship with it

"a pro-PR campaign is building within the Parliamentary Labour Party. Each MP involved is convinced that it won’t be long until something has to give."
