About fifty years ago, Margaret Thatcher reshaped how politics and the economy were managed. Her approach rested on a single idea: that profit would serve the public good, even in essential services.

The fact remains. If the system was changed once, it can be changed again.

As anthropologist David Graeber and others say, is the hidden truth of the world is that it is built by people, and it can be rebuilt.

We can do it better.

I am not an establishment politician. In Parliament, I work to challenge the legacy of Thatcher’s policies.

We can manage the economy by distributing resources more fairly, rather than concentrating them in the hands of a few.

We can put public wellbeing and environmental protection at the centre of decision-making.

We can strengthen democracy, which for many people feels limited in practice.

But this requires a shift. 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.

Anyone who values democracy has a role to play in building something better.

Together, we can do it better.
