As part of the conversation we have started, we have opened a new section of the Website. “Social Democratic Futures” will be vehicle for new Left thinking. The first two, very different, “carriages” of this train of thought are conducted by Shalom Lappin, a co-author of the manifesto and by James Purnell, Minister of State for Pensions in the British Labour government.

The hope is that we can create an intellectual space in which progressives supportive of the broad thrust of the Euston principles can debate with each other across political parties, social movements, intellectual traditions and countries.
Readers are invited to respond to the articles in up to 1000 words, or to ask questions of the writers. The writers have agreed to write rejoinders. One angle – there is no other place where leading younger ministers are engaging in online dialogue with people in this way. Submissions to me at alanjohnsonsdf@aol.com
