Today the labour movement & country celebrate the Attlee government's social & economic transformations.
Yet as we face crises equal to the postwar era, @Keir_Starmer's Labour backs away from 2019's socialist policies. Here's how we could really renew the Attlee legacy

Where the Attlee government created the NHS amidst the debt and rubble of the Second World War, Labour should be renewing our calls for a National Care Service.
The Tories lack a plan - Labour should be fighting for our universalist vision. (2/11)

Where the postwar Labour government brought huge swathes of industry into public ownership, Labour should be calling for nationalisation of water and energy.
That's how we tackle the climate & environmental crises and ensure no one is left wanting. (3/11)

Where Attlee nationalised coal and British Airways, Labour should today be calling for public stakes and ownership of the Big Polluters.
That's how we ensure a just transition for workers and planet, in place of an exploitative status quo. (4/11)

Just as the postwar Labour government built a million homes, Keir Starmer should today fight for a huge programme of housebuilding & home insulation, to insulate every home in the country.
That's how we cut emisssions & bills, eradicate fuel poverty and create green jobs. (5/11)

Attlee's government fought for full employment. Yet today amidst a looming unemployment crisis, Labour proposals are lacking.
We should be renewing our plans for the government to create a million green jobs in a Green New Deal. That's how we decarbonise and level up. (6/11)

After 1945, Labour instituted new universal rights to healthcare and social secrutiy.
Keir Starmer should be demanding broadband as a universal right for the 21st century, provided free at the point of use. We need imagination and ambition fit for the 21st century. (7/11)

Where the Attlee Government nationalised transport, Labour should be offering a radical vision for green public transport in the 21st century.
An integrated transport system. Publicly-owned buses & railways. Free intra-city public transport. Investment in rail not roads. (8/11)

Where the Attlee government enhanced trade union rights, Labour should be demanding the repeal of anti-trade union legislation post-covid.
This crisis has shown the vital role of trade unions - we must remove the shackles binding them and support all union struggles. (9/11)

From a four-day week to a National Food Service, Labour could be doing so much to fight for a new social settlement post-covid, with a #GreenNewDeal.
It's what Labour members want. It's what the public support. It's what Keir Starmer promised. It's time to step up

As we do so, we must recognise how the Attlee government failed to live up to true internationalist values.
Our collective prosperity must not & will not be built off the backs of the Global South's working-class. We fight for all
