Tom Griffin (London, OK): After last month's look at the Tories, the way forward for the Labour Party is the subject of the latest in the Comment is Free/Soundings series of debates, Who Owns the Progressive Future?
Jon Cruddas, Harriet Harman, Jeremy Gilbert, and Chuka Umunna join the Guardian's Madeleine Bunting at London's King's Place this evening to discuss politics After New Labour.
Cruddas set out his prescription ahead of the debate in a Comment is Free piece with Soundings editor Jonathan Rutherford:
The relationship between market and state is being redrawn. Nowhere is this more needed than in housing. This is where the battle lines are being drawn up. The left must create a democratic and accountable state capable of strategic intervention in the domestic economy and creating global alliances. A new settlement means a progressive tax system, a restructured financial economy and a Green New Deal. Ahead lie the perils of global warming and peak oil. But now let us give homes to people, and with them the hope of a better life.
