  • Inside Labour Business Day 2021: Finding a new normal

    September 27, 2021

    The party conferences are back and with them the challenge of speaking to multiple audiences – to the party faithful, to the general public and to competing interest groups.

    When it comes to ‘issues we care about’, the climate crisis is a uniquely oppressive force on a young person’s mind. Not because it threatens every society’s way of life. Not because it requires systemic changes to the way we eat, move and make things on a scale never seen before. And not even because we are aware that simply by going about our daily lives, we are contributing to the problem. It’s because we’re...
