Around 50 years ago, Margaret Thatcher's revolution tore up the political and economic management rulebook. She rewrote it with a single unwavering principle: that the pursuit of profit would serve the public good, even when it came to vital public services.

One thing is undeniable: if the world can be made differently once, it can be made differently again.

That, as the brilliant anthropologist David Graeber and others understood, is the hidden truth of the world. It is something we create and can choose to create anew.

We can do it better.

I am not an establishment politician. In Parliament, I champion the alternative to Thatcher's destructive legacy.

We can run our economy better by sharing resources and wealth with the many rather than letting the few hoard them.  

We can prioritise public wellbeing and our environment.

We can empower the public - for whom 'democracy' only exists in limited form.

But that requires something challenging: we must break free from the constraints of our imagination and let go of the idea that this economic model is all there is or all there ever could be.

Every one of us who believes in democracy must come together and fight for the alternative.

Together, we can do it better.
