Jürgen Habermas has died.
An interesting thinker but ultimately he put his weight behind the Washington consensus.
I wrote this short piece 12 years ago, the first in a series that never happened!

Sadiq Khan - Labour must stop imitating 'Reform'.
"In all my mayoral elections in London, I asked potential Green supporters to lend me their vote so that we could deliver progressive policies to build a fairer, safer, greener and more prosperous London for everyone. Many did, but it only worked because people believed we would walk the walk, not just talk the talk."
