Interesting read from
@mattholehouse
⬇️
He writes: "Politicians often find much to admire in local govt. Thatcher liked Wandsworth. Cameron’s austerity was presaged in Barnet. Corbyn’s circle liked Preston’s municipal socialism. Starmer may well hold up Camden in north London."
Camden's success in rolling out a mission-driven strategy at the local level shows what can be achieved.
