Yes and no. Fourteen years on and our social fabric has frayed considerably more, the social norms and institutions we took for granted in 2010 need to be rebuilt and strengthened. The Big Society was of its time, we need a more urgent communitarian agenda.

Great to have @FloEshalomi at the launch of @Demos Collaborative Democracy Network. Good to see Labour taking the health of our democracy seriously. Strong words on the value of devolution and local decision making.

Couldn’t agree with this more - especially the need for public funding to, carefully and with good governance, plug the market failures that mean we don’t have the news we need to fuel a healthy democracy
