Theres huge racial discrmination and inequality against british brown/asian men in british society. But is never talked about cos theirs no group advocating on their behalf.

A good discussion - thank you !

Chat history continued: 18:30:18 From Andrew Houseley : Hmm. Lethargy behind malevolent intent. The paternalism (albeit highly distrustful of the British people and determined to keep power away from us) of the old British establishment has been usruped by bad actors. Yes they are/were clapped out. 18:31:38 From Tricia Scott : Social media. People being brainwashed by disinformation 18:33:43 From Owen Morgan : Citizen's Assemblies are a good idea as a precursor to regional devolution in England. 18:34:03 From Kerry Setterfield : Reacted to "Citizen's Assemblies..." with 👍 18:34:55 From Sarah Vaughan : Reacted to "Citizen's Assemblies..." with 👍 18:35:07 From Jamie Athill : I prefer FPTP. It is not difficult to find out about one’s candidates in a general or local election and one can form a comparative judgement on them. Who picks the candidates in PR? 18:35:10 From Bob Gillespie : Surely Citizens Assemblies whose membership would be chosen by sortition must play a key part in democratic decision-making? 18:39:28 From Jamie Athill : I live in Norfolk: I understand that the proposal is to merge our county and district councils into unitary councils, not disband the districts and just leave us with the county council. 18:40:15 From Sarah Vaughan : See Sam Freedman’s paper: www.labourtogether.uk/all-reports/public-service-reform-and-devolution and his booke Failed Stated is excellent 18:40:16 From Graeme Watts : Replying to "I live in Norfolk: I..." Yes I agree I live in Suffolk. 18:40:59 From Tricia Scott : This is a great meeting! Do they happen regularly? 18:43:15 From Georgiana Pike : For anyone new to Radix Big Tent, these Meet the Leaders events happen once a month, sometimes more often 18:43:36 From Tricia Scott : Reacted to "For anyone new to Ra…" with 👍 18:44:47 From Bob Gillespie : Isn't it time to consider ending the system whereby all of those participating in decisions affecting our lives must be elected, must be members of a political party and must be endorsed by a political party? If "democracy" means "people power", and if communication is now far easier in the age of electronic messaging, surely we need far more involvement of us, the people! 18:44:53 From Vicky Pryce : People also feel that local democracy doesn't work either as local councils do 'consultations' and then often just ignore the results. And there appears to be a growing belief in government at present that maybe we devolve decisions to too low a local level, with people making decisions that are often not based on evidence( or local feeling) and where unintended consequences are ignored 18:45:50 From Rebecca Warren : What is a "big" majority? 18:45:53 From Anni Johnson : Replying to "For anyone new to Ra..." www.radixuk.org.uk for updates or twitter @radix_uk bluesky @radixuk.bsky.social 18:48:12 From Jamie Athill : Over the years, I’ve found councillors quite receptive, but one has to be realistic: you need to drum up a groundswell of support; the issue has to be achievable; you need to pitch it at their capabilities (not always great) etc. Also, of course, they don’t have much support or time - by definition, being a councillor is often not their main job. 18:48:56 From Graeme Watts : Reacted to "Over the years, I’ve..." with 👍 18:50:06 From Sophie Cheadle : Follow our next events: radixuk.org/events/ 18:50:27 From Tricia Scott : HOW to get the message out to the public is a huge challenge. GB News tv channel is bigger than sky news now, and that excludes social media. Right wing media is ascendant and huge financial backers. My worry is the Starmer is starting to pander to that 18:51:54 From Kerry Setterfield : Reacted to "HOW to get the messa..." with 👍 18:57:55 From Sarah Vaughan : Danny Sriskandarajah has written a book Power to the People: www.hive.co.uk/Product/Danny-Sriskandarajah/Power-to-the-People--Use-your-voice-change-the-world/29917721 18:58:27 From Tricia Scott : Dial up educating kids in schools about critical thinking and how to recognise disinformation- we need to be thinking ahead 18:58:42 From Kerry Setterfield : Reacted to "Dial up educating ki..." with 👍 18:58:53 From Sarah Vaughan : Replying to "Dial up educating ki..." 👍 19:01:29 From Tricia Scott : This needs to capture crypto 19:01:56 From Marisha Ray : Reacted to "This needs to captur..." with 👍🏾 19:02:27 From Marisha Ray : @Tricia Scott the Crypto conventional currency transition is important 19:02:39 From Vicky Pryce : great event! thank you!! 19:02:51 From Vicky Seddon : Thank you! 19:02:57 From Graeme Watts : Reacted to "Thank you!" with 👍 19:02:59 From Tricia Scott : Thank you so much. I’m so grateful to have discovered this 19:03:03 From Rebecca Warren : Thank you! 19:03:09 From Jo Steele : Thank you all for a very informative and wide ranging discussion. I look forward to seeing the white paper 19:03:18 From Kerry Setterfield : Thank you 19:03:20 From Marisha Ray : Thank you! Very good to see your events list too 19:04:14 From Tricia Scott : Reacted to "@Tricia Scott the Cr…" with 👍 19:04:39 From Sophie Cheadle : Thank you!

Chat history: 18:05:26 From Georgiana Pike : Presubmitted question from George Sean Does it not make absolute sense to stop MPs having second jobs to improve our democracy? 18:05:55 From Rebecca Warren : What (if anything) is the significance of the PR vote this week? 18:05:59 From Georgiana Pike : Presubmitted question from Jennifer Bassett: How to make young people understand that democracy is the least bad form of government, and that only by engaging with the often flawed democratic processes will they prevent a slide into more authoritarian forms of government? 18:06:24 From Georgiana Pike : Pre-submit from Tom Bell What do the panel think of the descriptors, "post-trust" and "post-trust" era, and do they feel there is room for "post-honesty" in the narrative? 18:06:58 From Georgiana Pike : Pre-submit from Cally Harrison: It has never been easy to influence government - but we have to fend off various corporate lobbyists - what do we do as NGOs, activists, charities, CICs etc. 18:07:25 From Georgiana Pike : Pre-submit from Owen Morgan: Is there a risk that proposals for a proportionally representative electoral system, would result in a dangerous level of representation for extremist or fringe parties? 18:07:54 From Georgiana Pike : Presubmit from Alicia Hull When our representative democracy has failed us so badly, isn't it the duty of citizens to develop an economy and participatory system of government which fits the unstable conditions we now have? Isn't this job too big a for party politics? Isn't it time for a national government of unity to act ason a war fitting? 18:08:21 From Georgiana Pike : Presubmit from John Newham: Given the size of the government’s majority in the House of Commons how can electoral reform be best promoted? 18:08:33 From Rebecca Warren : Reacted to "Presubmit from John ..." with 👍 18:08:45 From Georgiana Pike : Pre-submit from John Cummings: Marching through the streets of London as a protest is singularly inefficient and ineffective. What sorts of consultation procedures could we build in to ensure that campaign voices are actually heard and responded to by government? 18:09:08 From Georgiana Pike : Pre-submit from Marisha Ray What outcomes have you achieved in this field in the last month, the last six months and the last ten years to improve the racial justice delivered by democracy? Given the rising tide of racial injustice and your own rate of tackling it when will racial injustice result in the UK no longer being a democracy? (It's for all of them) 18:09:28 From Georgiana Pike : Pre-submit from Martin Rayner: You talk about parliament keeping government democratic. How do you make parliament for democratic and answerable to the people of this country? 18:09:54 From Georgiana Pike : Presubmit from Mary Southcott How can we change our political culture from winner takes all, adversarial, binary, and who or what would benefit? 18:10:17 From Georgiana Pike : Presubmit from Tony Troughton-Smith Doesn't the topic as framed beg the question "is it possible to protect something that doesn't exist?" It's a bit like discussing protecting the Tasmanian tiger or the wooly mammoth! It appears to me that democratic integrity is something that we would like to defend, if only it existed, but I doubt it really ever has. We must define it and install it before it can be defended. 18:10:40 From Georgiana Pike : Pre-submit from Pat Armstrong Democracy is under threat from extremists of all shapes and sizes all over the world - it is rather like the 1930s in that respect. How can we defend democracy and avoid a possible repeat of the horrors of the 1940s? (In my view we need to make the majority of people's votes count and have Proportional Representation, our current FPP system is only making people feel unrepresented and angry - our Parliaments seem to be won by a minority of voters in reality - it is so worrying. It is even more worrying as ask any party out of power and they make encouraging remarks about Proportional Representation - but get them in power and they seem to have amnesia. Awful - and is desperately worrying for the future as the more discontented people there are around, the more they listen to extremists). 18:11:05 From Vicky Seddon : Yw 18:11:18 From Georgiana Pike : Pre-submit from Pauline Fox-Reid Please include disabled people and develop a fairer community. Equality, diversity and inclusion. A open learning culture with coproduction. Not no customer service, no staff, no manager, broken tech/AI. No NHS appointments for years is unsafe. No mental health early help, no social care. Police fail, social services fail. Emergency services overwhelmed like hospital A&E. No GP action, no diagnosis, no referrals, digital exclusion. Preventable deaths. The law needs updating and government needs to stop overcharging the public. Statutory services are not supplied yet paid for. Benefits inadequate. Neet increasing. Homeless, armed forces and veterans ignored. Gender equality. Education badly needs education. No sen, no safeguarding, no action, no EHCP from birth, no accessibility, too many barriers. No common sense. Health first policies and compulsory national training to stop the post code lottery. No excuse for chronic neglect even 18:11:21 From Georgiana Pike : Cont…before covid and economic crisis. Stop crime, fraud, cover up, no compensation and protect UK citizens. Safe housing, transport, infrastructure, essential services to live in peace. Green spaces and protect environment by stopping pollution. 18:11:50 From Vicky Seddon : But why organiser stopped it? 18:12:44 From Vicky Pryce : is it fair for politicians- Starmer did it himself today- to blame civil servants as Gove and J Rees-Mogg and Maude have done before? if you make the trust deficiency to also cover civil servants then surely we are lost.. 18:13:06 From Sarah Vaughan : Is there a link to the White paper? 18:17:02 From Michael Shaw : To what extent is the lack of trust, dishonesty, disengagement etc. better or worse in the UK when compared to similar democracies? 18:17:04 From Tricia Scott : I agree. I just don’t think Starmer gets it 18:18:18 From Jamie Athill : Does the panel think that our political parties are equal in their iniquity? 18:22:46 From Tricia Scott : They may be better chaos, but they’re rubbish communicators and perceptions matter 18:25:53 From Sarah Vaughan : Suggestions for dealing with donations from Richard Murphy: www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/12/02/will-labour-rise-to-the-challenge-from-musk/ 118:28:44 From Marisha Ray : Populism is driven by our exclusion of the people 18:29:18 From Adrian Phillips : why is none of this a priority for our politicians? retail politics (and immigration) is the only thing they will talk about. Does this lack of interest reflect, or shape public concern? 18:30:03 From Tricia Scott : Plenty of tech bros would like a monarchy type system in the US. I don’t know if that includes musk but it wouldn’t surprise me. Look up Curtis Yarvin

Chat history: 18:02:24 From Robin Stafford : In so much of the debate about poverty and inequality, the answers are framed as ‘spending’ that we cannot afford. On health, education, housing et al. Yet failing to invest in these areas has a real and massive cost to the economy. As Beveridge and Keynes understood. So there is an economic case as well as a moral case. So - how do we shift the framing and who could/should be making the economic case? 18:04:02 From Sophie Cheadle : Pre submitted questions: 18:04:24 From Sophie Cheadle : Peter Fischer Brown To what extent is the government's policy towards private schools likely to have any positive impact on the quality of state schooling or on inequality of education? 18:04:43 From mark lygo : can you repeat in the chat the hashtag, please. 18:04:52 From Sophie Cheadle : Patricia Askew Can you say whether the falling birth rates are a problem for every country or just the west? 18:05:12 From Sophie Cheadle : Replying to "can you repeat in th..." Please tag @Radix_UK 18:05:41 From Sophie Cheadle : Michael Holland Do the Labour government's budget taxation proposals (particularly IHT and CGT) go some way to redressing the intergenerational wealth balance? 18:05:52 From Sophie Cheadle : Lyn Brown I was surprised how angry I felt after reading Seven Children. My question is: What needs to be done to take collective responsibility? How do we defeat those who enable those shrugs who think education, a home, nutritious food, play, & time to spend with our friends & family is too costly for those seven children. 18:06:07 From mark lygo : Reacted to "Please tag @Radix_UK" with 👍 18:06:07 From Sophie Cheadle : Gabriel Phelps Will there be any rebellion in view of the tax reforms of the agricultural sector, notably CGT of farms ? 18:06:18 From Sophie Cheadle : John Cornell What factors influence individuals not to apply for benefits for which they may be entitled and would thus relieve a degree of poverty ? How can these factors be overcome ? 18:06:28 From Sophie Cheadle : Rod Rivers Is there an alternative to money as a metric for success? 18:06:38 From Sophie Cheadle : Philip McCauley At what point will society need to seriously consider introducing a universal minimum basic income? 18:06:54 From Sophie Cheadle : Nick Webb Examples of the experience of other countries, and what they 'did'? 18:07:10 From Nicola Jenkins : Can you mute everyone please 18:07:11 From Ben Rich : Reacted to "Philip McCauley At w..." with 👍 18:07:50 From Sophie Cheadle : If you are tweeting about this event, please tag @Radix_UK 18:07:59 From mark lygo : Reacted to "If you are tweeting ..." with 👍 18:08:06 From Sophie Cheadle : To purchase Danny’s Book, Seven Children, with a 25% discount use code 25% DORLING25 - www.hurstpublishers.com/book/seven-children/ 18:08:17 From mark lygo : Reacted to "To purchase Danny’s ..." with 👍 18:08:34 From Sophie Cheadle : Hurst Publishing also gives a 25% discount on Women vs Capitalism by Vicky Pryce, published in 2019, using code WVC1411 - www.hurstpublishers.com/book/women-vs-capitalism/#!/ 18:17:56 From Sophie Cheadle : Please use the chat to post your thoughts or questions! 18:22:12 From mark lygo : is this being recorded ? reason I ask , I want to make notes etc. 18:23:43 From Sophie Cheadle : Replying to "is this being record..." Great to hear! This event is being recorded and the recording will be emailed to all guests afterwards 18:23:49 From Nicholas Webb : Why did the Gov'nt restrict raising the top rate of income tax or adding a higher top tier, to reduce income inequality?

Sure I paid low income tax but there were all sort of obligatory deductions from may pay - Federal tax (defence), health, pension 3 pillar system, dental. At end of day the deductions from my pay were about the same as tax decisions from my BBC salary. Paradox of NHS today is that obligatory social health insurance in most European countries allows for far more flexibility in provision - faster, more advanced medical treatments than a centralsised state 18:35:34 From Denis MacShane : Than a centralised state paying for health care from general taxation can provide. 18:41:57 From Sophie Cheadle : Great point 18:44:48 From Trish Burns : Is it not the case that people send children to private school for the contacts, openings, future opportunities? Backgrounds affect access to elite occupations such as acting, architecture, etc. The "royal road" of Eton and Oxford was described in "Social Class in the 21st Century" by Savage et al in 2013. Also "The Class Ceiling" by Friedman and Laurison in 2019. 18:45:20 From jade doig : Reacted to "Is it not the case t..." with 👍 18:46:49 From Suzanne Goff : Reacted to "Great to hear!

Cost employer about 2% of payroll to form the next generation of workers. Give or take many European economies still oblige employers to train their employees with proper contractual apprenticeship from retail to railways. Alas our trade unions used apprenticeships as a way in to organisation unlike the Worlds Council model of employee involvement in most of continent. 18:57:56 From Jessie Brinton : No mention yet of incoming climate impacts. Impossible to think of the future without them. 19:00:54 From Sophie Cheadle : Thank you Vicky and Danny 19:01:04 From jade doig : Danny - so interesting, thank you - look forward to reading the book. 19:01:14 From mark lygo : Reacted to "Danny - so interesti..." with 👏 19:01:38 From Danny Dorling : Thank you all! 19:01:55 From mark lygo : Reacted to "Thank you all!" with 👏 19:02:04 From Trish Burns : Thank you.

Chat history: 17:30:50 From Sophie Cheadle : Welcome everyone 17:33:08 From Sophie Cheadle : Pre submitted questions: 17:33:35 From Sophie Cheadle : Is social media responsible for polarisation and if so what further UK regulation is needed? 17:33:49 From Sophie Cheadle : The Centre Must Hold was top of my Summer reading list; I ate it up. 1. The first thing I did upon opening the book was scan the contents for any Irish names - there were none. Just curious were any Irish political figures considered for inclusion? Former Prime Minister Bertie Ahern and NI politician, Lord John Alderdice are decent (living) examples, I would have thought - both deal making alchemists, weaving through painstaking complexity. Likewise, the (late) great John Bruton, John Hume, or indeed, Conor Cruise O’Brien could be posthumously claimed! 2. Further to that, would Mr Zivan consider a follow-up book on historical Centrist figures? Could such a political DNA be traced? 17:33:59 From Sophie Cheadle : Does Yair think the potential for centrism varies by country? How big is the Israeli appetite for centrism? 17:34:07 From Sophie Cheadle : What are your definitions of centrism? What views do you regard as being incompatible with it? 17:34:14 From Sophie Cheadle : Environmental breakdown, global conflict, and aging populations worldwide suggest that the coming decades will be radically different from the easy growth and stability of the late 20th Century. It seems inevitable that our political and economic models will have to change - and that that change will be heavily contested. Do you believe that centrism can offer a compelling vision of change, and build the movements to deliver it? 17:34:25 From Sophie Cheadle : What arguments can be garnered to counter the global rise of far right extremism? 17:34:30 From Sophie Cheadle : What arguments can be garnered to counter the global rise of far right extremism? 17:35:36 From Ben Rich : If centrism equates to mainstream isn’t part of the problem that everyone believes that their views are the mainstream? 17:36:58 From Biyi Oloko : Reacted to "If centrism equates …" with 👍 17:38:09 From Kevin Langford : Does a first past the post electoral system increase or decrease the chances of extremists having power or influence? 17:38:28 From Ben Rich : “I never was a radical when young, for fear I should be conservative when old” - Robert Frost 17:53:12 From Leslie Hurst : Does the charisma of the messenger have a disproportionate impact on the whim of voters viz Farage, Johnson and Trump? 17:57:14 From Patrick Thompson : But often the media owners have an agenda of their own. This was very obvious during the Brexit debate and is very marked now 17:58:17 From Ben Rich : Replying to "But often the media ..." Yes - I am not convinced that Farage or Trump are actually particularly charismatic - it is just that that they are good copy because they say extreme things… 17:59:52 From Patrick Thompson : Replying to "But often the media ..." Yes exactly 18:03:41 From Ben Rich : Does social media mean the end of nuance and so the end of centrism 18:05:42 From Patrick Thompson : What is the role of education in all this? 18:08:43 From Andy Ross : Liberal democracy is a lovely thought, but history and many recent trends seems to suggest that Centrism being moderate in its approach to fighting the far-right can be naive, should Labour be more aggressive in preventing them organising and spreading misinformation and hatred while it still can? 18:11:08 From Kevin Langford : Is centrism sustainable without economic growth? 18:13:27 From Andy Ross : Reacted to "Is centrism sustaina..." with 👍🏻 18:19:46 From Kevin Langford : Is there evidence that centrist opposition parties benefit from being less strident in opposing governments and making compromise easier? 18:20:16 From Merlene Enerson : How can/should centrist parties/thinkers influence international organisations? Do centrists believe in multi-polar world? 18:21:47 From David Tyfield : Thanks Yair, very interesting. Listening to you, it sounds to me that ethics (in the actual practice of politics, governance, the shaping of social services, ... plus the key role of education - i.e. transmitting an ethical education to the next generation ...) is crucial to your concept of centrism. Is that true? And does being explicit about this ethical dimension help or hinder or even do nothing to strengthening centrism - and today amidst runaway complexity specifically? 18:25:35 From David Tyfield : Perfect. Thanks Yair. 18:25:56 From Katy Lindsay : In cognitive terms, dealing with complexity is hard. Extremists offer simple answers, which is cognitively appealing for most people (even if not the people here). Centrists need to put their arguments in a way that appeals whilst reducing cognitive overload - e.g. values (but we need to explain them easily). This is hard. We must also work out a way to get people comfortable with shades of grey (which we didn't with Brexit, for instance, since the EU is all about compromise and shades of grey). 18:28:27 From Sophie Cheadle : Thank you everyone! 18:30:43 From Biyi Oloko : Thank you

Hello my name is ATSIEDE RICHARD from Ghana Africa I am 39 yes old l am looking for serious woman in my life

Bear in mind at ever election in the last 20 years the progressive vote has been around 60% with only fptp enabling the right to take a majority. So if the conservatives want to survive they do need to move to the centre away from the far right because after all that is where the majority of support lives. In effect conservative with a small ‘c’

Chat history: 13:04:22 From Georgie Pike : Mark Essex: Are the tories the party of the old or the party of people born before 1975? If the latter their voters are dying and they need to have an offer for the young (relatively). How do they get there? They appear to be headed in precisely the opposite direction: no planning reform, stamp duty nonsense, preferring income taxes to wealth taxes, greenbelt, pensions triple lock. 13:04:40 From Georgie Pike : Robert McDowell: "Idle hands make mischief" Large majorities have the challenge of how to keep the majority of MPs occupied- there are not enough payroll jobs to go round. How long before the idle hands make mischief? Robert McDowall 13:04:58 From Georgie Pike : Gill Morris: How do you see devolution working under a super majority Labour Government? Will Labour succeed in giving back control and surrender deeper and wider powers to Mayors across economic regions such as the North? What does this mean for democratic renewal and who holds who to account? 13:05:28 From Georgie Pike : Frank Young: Can “one nation” conservatism be radical? 13:05:50 From Georgie Pike : Simon Potter: What might be the consequences on the Right if the Liberal Democrats were to become the official Opposition? 13:06:14 From Georgie Pike : Jonathan Little: If the fastest re-accession to the EU was your priority, should we hope for a fracture of the Conservative Party to increase the chances of a Europhile centre-right breakaway party becoming dominant on the right of centre of the UK political spectrum? 13:06:35 From Georgie Pike : Tim Thornton: There's a strand of Conservative thinking from the likes of Nick Timothy pushing a socially conservative, economically liberal model. Do you think that concept can be sufficiently acceptable to the two wings of the right to pull it together? Would it need the reality of a left wing government in power to incentivise Reform voters to accept the deal - and if so could it be considered sustainable? 13:07:05 From Dominic Vail : Are the Tories heading for their Corbyn moment in the form of a Farrage takeover. 13:31:22 From Robert Saunders : What would be the mechanism for Nigel Farage joining the Conservative Party after the election, if he wanted to do so? (Assuming he won in Clacton). 13:32:29 From Sophie Cheadle : Please feel welcome to post any thoughts and questions in the chat 13:32:46 From Tom Overend : Assuming the Conservatives are a very distant 2nd place, or even no longer official opposition - would the panel suggest the best way for the Tories to gain a foothold in the country is through focusing resources in metro mayor races in 2028 to gain executive figures of national prominence? Labour seem to have done this effectively since 2019 and before. 13:32:52 From Matthew Schlachter : 1. Are we not simply entering an era of broad but shallow electoral coalitions, with voters unmoored from parties and voters floating between parties for huge swings from election to election? 2. Are the recent events in France, with LR/Ciotti and RN instructive of what may occur with possible Conservative/Reform merger? 13:39:46 From Rom Ibrahim : He's running 13:39:57 From Meg Russell : If the populist radical right elements of the Conservative Party (e.g. Braverman, Patel) win the leadership after the election, what are the chances and means for a new centre right party to form? Or is the vehicle, as already hinted at, for a takeover/defections to the Lib Dems to take up that vacant space? 13:55:07 From Matthew Schlachter : The Lib Dems have had nearly forty years to find a “place and a role”, would be surprised if it happens all of a sudden in next parliament 13:58:56 From Mary O’Shea : Thank you! 13:59:29 From Georgie Pike : Thank you to all who have already made a donation; if you would like to support Radix Big Tent and the Big Tent Foundation with a donation or as a Friend, we would be very grateful www.radixbigtent.org.uk/join-and-support/ 13:59:33 From Sophie Cheadle : Prof. John Kay: radixuk.org/events/john-kay-vicky-pryce-mtl/ 14:00:05 From rod schwartz : great discussion--thanks!

Chat history: 18:11:00 From Tom Levitt : When is it acceptable to lie? So much in politics today is based on ‘economies with the truth’, but also drugs in sport may be equivalent 18:11:39 From Joe Zammit-Lucia : Why are we so concerned about the need for ID for voting when that’s exactly what most other countries require. Why are the morals of this different here than anywhere else? 18:12:30 From Michael Holland : Does fairness now trump excellence in the UK? 18:15:06 From Tom Levitt : Reacted to "Why are we so concer..." with 👍 18:25:02 From Joe Zammit-Lucia : While I personally agree re the corrosive effect of ‘lying’, have we maybe also taken what we define as ‘lying’ somewhat too far? Much of political campaigning is about presenting alternative visions of the future. And one can’t really ‘lie’ about the future as we have no facts or data about the future. 18:26:47 From Tom Levitt : Replying to "While I personally a..." But you can lie about your opponent’s intentions, and ‘fake videos’ seem to exist for only that very function! 18:27:02 From Francis Wilkinaon : Do you think that the involvement of leading conservatives in cheating in gambling suggests a weakening of the tradition of fair play in the UK? 18:29:58 From Joe Zammit-Lucia : Replying to "While I personally a..." Fake videos are by definition ’fake’. My own view is that spouting about people’s intentions is always suspect. We don’t live in other people’s hearts and minds so assumptions about others’ intentions can never be anything other than pure speculation - and largely to be ignored. Judge people by what they do not by our own personal speculations as to their underlying motivations. 18:30:30 From Ben Rich : Labour in their manifesto 18:36:09 From Ben Rich : The last person to get to see the canvass returns is the candidate! 18:40:00 From Miranda Blum : Should Civil Servants be allowed to comment on the honesty of politicians' claims? 18:41:43 From Joe Zammit-Lucia : Is the idea that there exist anywhere people who are ‘independent’ and utterly ‘objective’ not itself a big lie? Everyone has an angle. Everyone has their own value system. Everyone is dependent on others (whom they don’t particularly want to offend) in some way. All of that affects how people frame their arguments, how they choose to structure their studies, etc, etc. Besides, no ‘cost-benefit’ analysis can possibly take into account all such costs and benefits as many are unmeasurable. 18:47:56 From Joe Zammit-Lucia : Maybe the ‘fairest’ way to get to the ‘truth’ 😏 is to ensure that various alternative perspectives can all get an airing and then people can make their own minds. Rather than pretending that we can give these highly complex issues to some single all-knowing body to give us ‘the answer’. That represents a potentially dangerous concentration of power. 18:49:42 From Francis Wilkinaon : . . . and that is indeed Jonathan Duke-Evans' point, isn't it, that respect for the views of others is a central idea to fair play 18:51:44 From James Athill : Is the House of Lords fair play? 18:59:50 From Miranda Blum : But isn't that a product of targets to meet? 19:01:26 From Sophie Cheadle : Keep up to date with Radix Big Tent: radixuk.org/ @Radix_UK 19:01:47 From Sophie Cheadle : Purchase Jonathan’s book An English Tradition? here: global.oup.com/academic/product/an-english-tradition-9780192859990?cc=gb&lang=en& 19:02:03 From Sophie Cheadle : Our next session: radixuk.org/events/tim-bale-daniel-finkelstein-mtl/ 19:02:32 From Sophie Cheadle : If you can, please support Radix Big Tent by donating to our registered charity the Big Tent Foundation.

Clare Hazelgrove says she worked for TPX impact a “social good agency”, would that be “TPX impact Holdings PLC” a FTSE listed company? As she’s now a candidate for MP clearly a textbook Champagne Socialist! God help us! #clarehazelgrove

Hi There, I was analysing your KZbin channel. Great. Your Content is fantastic, But your video optimization section area is not perfectly up to date. Out of 100 that score very low, That’s why your video is not reaching out to people, and you have very few subscribers, views , likes, watch time and comments. I think your KZbin channel will make your dream come true. If you can fix these problems your channel will grow very fast & definitely your videos will get more views. Can I help you ? Thank You.

13:38:50 From Andrew Stansbury : How could we actually deliver more socila rent housing at pace and scale within the current economic climate and wider housing pressures? SR housing is utlimately the road out of many of the crises we are facing - how can we get substantially more, quickly? 13:39:18 From Sophie Cheadle : If you would like to submit evidence to the Radix Big Tent Housing Commission please do so here www.shoosmiths.com/Radix-Housing-Commission 13:40:35 From Alan Chapman : Would you repeal the 1961 land compensation act? 13:40:42 From Sophie Cheadle : If you can, please support the Big Tent Foundation with a donation or as a Friend - www.radixbigtent.org.uk/join-and-support/ - every donation however small is very much appreciated - thank you 13:40:50 From Alicia Weston : Totally agree the issue is land. The big housebuilders land bank and I wonder how much of their profits come from uplift in land values 13:42:00 From Susan's iPhone : Re Social rent we need a better way to calculate a “ social rent” as it’s hard for some organisations to understand and no- one wants s to fall foul of RSH by not having the right values required from the last century 13:43:58 From Georgie pike : If you’d like to tweet about this event please tag @Radix_UK 13:44:41 From Elizabeth Bundred Woodward : A lot of political discussion seems to be about home ownership, but there are 1000's of people across the country and in rural areas that rely on the private rented sector. The social rented sector is regulated (somewhat), in particular around housing quality, do you think the PRS needs the same? 13:45:55 From Susan's iPhone : Almshouses are charities providing social rent homes that are exempt from the right to buy/ right to shared ownership and are being favoured by local authorities as a result in rural areas for small infill type schemes. If registered they can obtain grant from Homes England via Almshouse Consortium 13:48:31 From Tumi Hawkins : Replying to "A lot of political d..." The regulation on the PRS is high, and there are many landlords that rent out high quality properties. Its the poor quality ones that give the rest a bad name. Also there's is the Housing Health and Safety Rating System is used by LAs to assess quality of rented property. They just need more Housing standard officers to carry out this work 13:49:02 From Alan Chapman : Thanks to Margaret Thatcher the high street banks now invest in housing rather than business that could grow the economy. 13:54:03 From Rachael Williamson : Reacted to "Planning is seen as ..." with 👍 13:54:53 From Georgie pike : If you can, please support the Big Tent Foundation with a donation, or as a Friend - www.radixbigtent.org.uk/join-and-support/ - every donation however small is very much appreciated - thank you 13:54:57 From Paul Haslam : we cannot leave the building house to private industry alone just as we cant leave other strategic markets such as the building infrastructure - we still build roads in the public sector 13:55:31 From Alicia Weston : It's not just about council land, it's also about the rules around financing for councils 13:56:35 From Tumi Hawkins : Reacted to "It's not just about ..." with 👍🏽 13:56:55 From Georgie pike : A reminder that if you would like to submit evidence to the Radix Big Tent Housing Commission please do so here www.shoosmiths.com/Radix-Housing-Commission 13:58:21 From Ross Mccoll : Thankyou 13:58:28 From Brian Q Love : Ebeneezer Howard had the solution. www.connectedcities.org/delivery/land-tenure 13:58:49 From Tumi Hawkins : Thank you 13:59:06 From Diana Broughton : Thank you all very much. 13:59:15 From Georgie pike : If you would like to submit evidence to the Radix Big Tent Housing Commission please do so here www.shoosmiths.com/Radix-Housing-Commission - before the 1st August 13:59:36 From Georgie pike : If you can, please support the Big Tent Foundation with a donation or as a Friend - www.radixbigtent.org.uk/join-and-support/ - every donation however small is very much appreciated - thank you 14:00:17 From Rachael Williamson : V interesting, thank you

Chat history: 13:06:18 From Sophie Cheadle : Please view Vicky Spratt’s article for the i paper here: inews.co.uk/news/tony-blair-housing-guru-dame-kate-barker-crisis-so-bad-2024-3083668 13:07:24 From Georgie pike : Pre-submitted questions: Andrew Dixon - Given the punitive Stamp Duty and the regressive Council Tax, there is a very real impediment to, and no incentive for, older generations to downsize. Do we face a genuine housing shortage or is it a case of the wrong families living in the wrong homes? Does tax reform need to be part of the solution? Lutz Johnen - How are you planning to tackle the coming water crisis that will have and already has an impact on housing development but which is also caused due water inefficient house building? Simon Ward - In tandem with developing more homes, what else would you advocate (by way of approach or mix of uses) in order that development is perceived to be good news and welcomed fondly by the public? 13:08:06 From Georgie pike : Pre- submitted Qs Sue Missin - How can we make regulation of smaller Housing Organisations more streamlined to allow then to access grant more easily rather than the current @2 year wait? Can we make social rent a more easy calculation ? The fact that it is so difficult to understand ( using data from the last century) plus the implications of getting it wrong ( Regulator) and trying to explain to residents does lead to smaller organisations choosing the affordable rent calculation as the preferred option, potentially at a lower level than 80% but by classing it as affordable does not show an uptake in social rent homes. To try and continue the momentum of an affordable homes programme how can we influence government to extend the 2021-26 programme to avoid RP's having to pause development because the schemes they would like to develop will not be completed by March 2026? 13:10:41 From Georgie pike : Fleur Rossdale (shortened) would like to discuss potential for a new model as a sustainable village constructed from natural materials, working with a tight team of experts in their field. In particular, an architect with vision and the highest of standards, which does not mean expensive. Connell Boyle - How do we Stop House Prices Rising? Dr Tumi Hawkins - Can the Government be encouraged to halt the Right To Buy scheme that is reducing the stock of council housing and preventing councils from being able to replace stock that is sold as most of the proceeds goes to government purse?? Nigel Langley - How would you reduce the demand for housing? 13:11:38 From Georgie pike : Ashton Cull - Does any significant increase in private housing lead to a collapse in the housing market, threatening the futures of those reliant on the ever increasing value of housing over the last 30 years Chris Pointon - Do we have a housing problem or a job location problem? How could a more evenly distributed economy help alleviate housing issues? Peter Todd - What about the closed banks and empty high st shops. Shrink the High Street to address big increase of online shopping by moving peripheral shop to a smaller town centre and reuse vacated premises for professionally converted accommodation. Solves two problems 1) empty shops. 2) More accommodation 13:13:35 From Georgie pike : Daria Johnen - Water availability is becoming a major challenge in some areas of England (Cambridgeshire, Sussex North), impeding the ability to build homes. It is likely the shortages are going to spread over the wider areas in the future. Is water availability included in scope of the review and will the team look into recommendations relating to this specific challenge? Robert Shaw - 1. What reforms to stamp duty might free up housing stock - for example graduating stamp duty, offering exemptions, or increasing costs for non-domiciled purchasers. 2. What planning reforms are necessary to encourage sustainable and affordable integrated neighbourhoods, so the housing we build includes access to accessible parks, gardens, cultural centres, fitness studios, schools / training colleges, access to good jobs, transport links and wifi? 13:14:44 From Georgie pike : George Wilesmith - Do you believe it would help young people to find a house if we drastically reduced the number of immigrants entering the country each day? Chris Worrall - Why do you think the UK government has failed to monitor key supply shortage metrics used by industry such as vacancy rates? Other nations seem to measure this with much more success than the UK does, in particular when overlaid with rental and/or house price growth Tom Rees - The target to build 300,000 homes a year stems back to your review in 2004. Given what has happened in the last 20 years in terms of population and building, should this target now be even higher? Is there a rough ballpark number you can give? Thanks 13:15:25 From Georgie pike : If you’re tweeting about this event we’d be grateful if you tag @radix_UK 13:17:42 From Alan Chapman : Having worked in the construction industry since 1958 when I was 15 years old and worked for my father I believe that the only period politicians haven’t screwed up the housing market was between 1948 and 1961. I don’t believe that any of the current political parties have the guts to introduce radical changes to the speculative housing model needed to provide sustainable affordable housing. 13:18:18 From Alicia Weston : It seems to me that the government's attitude to increasing supply is expecting that the major housebuilders will increase supply and cut margins. I have never seen this in any industry anywhere in the world where there is a constrained raw material supply, i.e. land. The only way you can realistically deal with this is to increase land supply => reform planning. Which no government seems able to do. Is there anything that gives you hope in this area? 13:20:32 From Alicia Weston : How on earth do you expect the private sector to build so much which will affect the value of its land bank and NAV? They'd be mad 13:21:16 From Alicia Weston : There's a fundamental conflict of interest here and I'm not sure relying on the private sector is ever going to be realistic 13:25:13 From Tom Rees : Can Kate describe the economic spillover effects of the housing crisis? Does it affect productivity, labour mobility, business formation etc. 13:33:39 From Catriona Riddell : Planning is seen as a bad thing, yet when used properly it has the ability to transform places and lives for the better, building the houses needed alongside all the other things need to make good places. How do we change the image planning has so we can start to use it as a force for good? 13:34:02 From Paul Haslam : when I moved my mother from a big house - she became very disoriented, became very ill and ended up in a home 3 years later and I regret moving her. perhaps you need to down size in early 50s rather than in the 60s. Health needs to be taken into account 13:34:37 From Tumi Hawkins : Reacted to "Planning is seen as ..." with 👍🏽 13:35:16 From Andrew Dixon : 👏 13:38:41 From Susan's iPhone : Owners choose to extend their 3 bed home into 4 beds to avoid stamp duty and more economical but reduces the supply of smaller homes in localities and points / rungs on the housing ladder

18:36:39 From tim cowen : Reacted to "Paul Barnett: In "Th..." with 👍 18:39:11 From Laurie Moulton-ulrich : Not one word about our regressive tax system?Off shore sector is parasite to society. London as centre of foreign financial asset market - ie investment return instead of actually being concerned about well-being of people actually living in the Uk. Isn’t this the real cause of both poverty of non-southeast and totally broken housing market. 18:39:27 From Laurie Moulton-ulrich : Reacted to "rent seeking economy" with 👍 18:40:09 From Laurie Moulton-ulrich : Reacted to "Paul Barnett: In "Th…" with 👍 18:42:51 From Paul Barnett : The right wing Legatum institute was disappointed to find that event Tory voters would support tax increases to save the NHS - ruling out tax increases therefore makes no sense. 18:44:30 From Alicia Weston : Brexit so clearly came from inequality. When people are disenfranchised they will try anything that has a good story 18:45:00 From Alicia Weston : hope is a uniquely human emotion 18:45:08 From Sophie Cheadle : This Time No Mistakes - How to Remake Britain by Will Hutton www.bloomsbury.com/uk/this-time-no-mistakes-9781804549391/ Discount code: HUTTON15 (hardback only) 18:45:35 From Sophie Cheadle : If you are tweeting about this event, please tag @Radix_UK 18:45:48 From Joe Zammit-Lucia : @Laurie Moulton-ulrich - can you please provide the evidence behind a ‘regressive tax systems’. The IFS has clearly laid out that the UK tax system is more progressive than any of the other major European countries. Any evidence against that view would be interesting. 18:45:54 From Sophie Cheadle : If you can, please support Radix Big Tent and the Big Tent Foundation with a donation or as a Friend. We are very grateful for every donation, however small www.radixbigtent.org.uk/join-and-support/ 18:45:56 From tim cowen : Ofwat has focused on price capping with predictable outcomes for pollution- since the May OEP report indicates basic failures in setting investment targets by catchment isn't it time to ringfence catchments - and move to rate of return regulation to attract green investment in water quality improvements? 18:47:06 From Joe Zammit-Lucia : Would be interested in data as to where wealth taxes have been successfully implemented. 18:47:28 From Laurie Moulton-ulrich : Tax Justice Network has lots of well researched data- on Uk and global. 18:48:15 From Ray Edgar : The "real" level of taxation on wealth is currently the lowest it has ever been, and less than an average working person. 18:48:29 From Robin Stafford : Instructive to contrast wealth as a multiple of GDP as Will has just done, with debt as a proportion of GDP. A pretty clear indicator of the problem. Too much wealth extraction, running down the country’s assets, and not enough investment. The examples are everywhere. Our dominant finance sector is a large part of the problem. 18:48:31 From Alicia Weston : it all comes back to housing 18:48:52 From Alicia Weston : it's so hard to have a decent quality of life when so much of our income is going on housing 18:49:28 From Andy Ross : How do we reduce the power of neo-liberal vested interests in politics and media? 18:50:08 From Alicia Weston : it's hard to do community things when you are trying to make rent/mortgage all the time. At the end of the day, a huge chunk of quality of life comes from human connection 18:51:59 From Alicia Weston : Any comments about prevention? We seem to do so little prevention, which links with this FE college stuff in some way 18:53:01 From Laurie Moulton-ulrich : Please check out New Citizen Project, OpenDemocracy, even Resolution Foundation ‘s Dec 23 Ending Stagflation report. Expecting top -down , Westminster concentrated party driven to change the status quo is fantasy. No -one is coming to save us - . Citizens ( not just Consumers) by Jon Alexander. 18:53:27 From Alicia Weston : but that's properly crazy because Singapore is founded on socialist principles and they have done a huge amount of industrial strategy, trying to compare us to Singapore actually should argue for many of Will's ideas 18:54:18 From Robert Ross : We have heard about the Community and the individual- what about the family? The tax system militates against the family. Benefits caps, reduction in child benefit the pressure on mothers to work rather than nurture their children and be valued for developing and educating them. The economic value of the work that mothers do should be recognised. 18:54:22 From Alicia Weston : the Tories trying to hijack the Singapore idea really shows a lack of understanding of the country 18:55:05 From Barry James, Humane Economics : Teachers: It's not (just) money - it IS the compliance culture that is damaging schools and at the root of the 30% with 'Attendance Difficulties' - ie Induced anxiety... 18:55:25 From Alicia Weston : Replying to "We have heard about ..." I think you have to be careful about "economic value" of caring responsibilities, sometimes when you start to put an economic value on things it can go horribly wrong 18:56:20 From Barry James, Humane Economics : Replying to "Teachers: It's not (..." A direct result of the progressive financialisaton No wonder few can stick it as a teacher for very long! 18:56:40 From Alicia Weston : regulators and the businesses have a revolving door which is another issue ,similar to the opiod/FDA issues in the USA 18:56:43 From Robert Ross : Replying to "We have heard about ..." I think is more than social responsibilities. There is a tax on family building and the emphasis should be adjusted. 18:56:51 From Barry James, Humane Economics : Reacted to "regulators and the b..." with 👍 18:56:57 From Laurie Moulton-ulrich : Who is this “state” being talked about? Expecting party politics to find a better way forward is fantasy - need civic democracy. Democracy is not spectator sport. 18:57:02 From Sophie Cheadle : This Time No Mistakes - How to Remake Britain by Will Hutton www.bloomsbury.com/uk/this-time-no-mistakes-9781804549391/ Discount code: HUTTON15 (hardback only) 18:57:20 From Alicia Weston : Replying to "We have heard about ..." One of the risks of this is that you will find that you are structurally disadvantaging certain ethnic populations 18:57:42 From Alicia Weston : Replying to "We have heard about ..." it's a tricky area 18:57:46 From Georgiana pike : If you can, please support Radix Big Tent and the Big Tent Foundation with a donation or as a Friend. We are very grateful for every donation, however small www.radixbigtent.org.uk/join-and-support/ 18:58:18 From Robert Ross : Replying to "We have heard about ..." I am not sure how that works, what are the structural differences that would do this - it seems to me that a family is a family whatever the ethnic characteristics. 18:58:51 From Alicia Weston : Replying to "We have heard about ..." some ethnic minorities are much less likely to have a family structure, many more single parents 18:59:31 From Sophie Cheadle : Meet the Leaders with Dame Kate Barker: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/meet-the-leaders-forum-with-dame-kate-barker-and-vicky-spratt-tickets-894168340577 18:59:36 From Alicia Weston : Replying to "We have heard about ..." depends which policies you're wanting to change but if you're thinking of rewarding marriage in the tax system, for example, then it can be awkward 18:59:41 From Robert Ross : Replying to "We have heard about ..." That is true across the board but you cannot design a system for the exceptions. 18:59:55 From Sophie Cheadle : Thank you everyone!

Chat history: 18:06:46 From Georgiana pike : Presubmitted Q from Stephen Smith: How will the new government be able to sustain our world class research universities without foreign students, when student fees have not increased in ten years and the block grant has not increased either. Our research base is our universities and government investment in research is internationally low, we cannot compete unless this vital investment is increased. 18:07:27 From Georgiana pike : Pre-submitted Q from Sue Lister: How do we reduce the gap between the rich and the poor and ensure wellbeing for all our citizens from cradle to grave? 18:08:04 From Georgiana pike : Pre-submitted question from John Bassendine: Do you agree that a national body is needed to use CPO powers to bring empty homes and vacant land back into use, to avoid obstructive Tory local authorities ? 18:08:36 From Georgiana pike : John Bassendine: What should be the priorities of the next Labour Government ? 18:09:04 From Georgiana pike : Raymond Edgar: At a point where the super-rich are paying less real tax than working people, what point is there left in the current ideas of capitalism for most people (think Pinkety). And, why is politics so in the pocket of big business and rich donors. Has it not simply become legalised corruption... 18:09:29 From Georgiana pike : Eleni Chalmers: What’s the economic case for supporting and properly funding public services? 18:10:00 From Georgiana pike : Lynne Armstrong: In the 1960s it was clear that the UK economy was suffering badly from being outside the EEC. EFTA set out the issues in a document called The Division of Europe. Are we forever fated to forget our economic history, or can the Brexit disaster be reversed by a more intelligent government? 18:10:33 From Georgiana pike : Paul Barnett: In "The Value of Everything" by Mariana Mazuccato challenged economists to develop new theories of value. It hasn't happened. Isn't it essential? Should we leave it to the economists? Do Vicky or Will have any ideas for a new theory of value? 18:10:57 From Georgiana pike : Gill Morris: Which party will raise taxes 18:11:21 From Georgiana pike : Robert Shaw: What economic measures would strengthen the FTSE100 and FTSE250 so that the growth of these indexes began to match or outstrip the US markets? 18:12:34 From Robin Stafford : How do we fund the scale of investment needed to rebuild public services and infrastructure, tackle climate change and boost productivity (for starters). Whats the mix of tax, borrowing and money creation? Combined with shifting the finance sector from speculation and rent seeking back to genuine investment in the economy? 18:21:16 From Barry James, Humane Economics : Replying to "Paul Barnett: In "Th..." +1 18:21:34 From Ashok Gupta : Reacted to "Paul Barnett: In "Th…" with 👍 18:21:39 From Joe Zammit-Lucia : So what’s the bottom line from all this - more debt but wrap it up in better words? Can we get to the meat? 18:22:00 From Paul Barnett : What is the future of PPP under Labour as part of this investment? 18:26:12 From Sophie Cheadle : This Time No Mistakes - How to Remake Britain by Will Hutton www.bloomsbury.com/uk/this-time-no-mistakes-9781804549391/ Discount code: HUTTON15 (hardback only) 18:26:39 From Sophie Cheadle : If you are tweeting about this event, please tag @Radix_UK 18:27:00 From Sophie Cheadle : If you can, please support Radix Big Tent and the Big Tent Foundation with a donation or as a Friend.

Two wings of a bird that allow children to soar. 18:33:07 From Ben Rich : Every campaign group I talk to tells me that the core curriculum should be much smaller and then suggest something else we should add. What is core for the 21st century?

Who do we trust and WHY? 18:40:28 From Mike Tuffrey : In practical terms, how do we move from where we are now to the sort of vision the three of you have set out? Parents are cautious, and the media narrative is strong as Fiona says. 18:41:17 From Annemarie Borg : There is knowledge and there is information… To learn well students need to make the information understood, internalised and then explored further in their own skilled way… 18:41:25 From Fleur Rossdale : Reacting to Johnny Rich and Fiona, rather than memorise facts, teach students to think creatively to learn how to interpret and apply knowledge they discover online. Seeds of knowledge should inspire them to become more knowledgable by finding things out for themselves. 18:41:59 From Annemarie Borg : Reacted to "Reacting to Johnny R..." with 👍 18:42:23 From Don Boyd : Reacted to "Reacting to Johnny R…" with 👍 18:42:44 From Nick Corston : Reacted to "Reacting to Johnny R..." with 👍 18:42:46 From Val Fraser : It’s not that knowledge doesn’t matter.

There’s Ofqual too, And Ofqual does more damage. Everyone has talked about the tyranny of grades. That’s bad. Even worse is that 1 grade in every 4 is wrong - that’s 1.5 million wrong grades in England this year, about 1 for every student in the land. And even worse than that is the fact that, since 2016, Ofqual rules have prevented these wrong grades from being discovered and corrected. To me, the year-on-year delivery of wrong grades by Ofqual is the no 1 priory to fix - which is easy to do. Now. One other thing… the thread that links Ofsted and Ofqual is Amanda Spielman… 18:42:58 From Nick Corston : Reacted to "The emphasis on know..." with 👍 18:43:13 From Nick Corston : Reacted to "Ofsted isn’t the onl..." with 😂 18:43:15 From Nick Corston : Removed a 😂 reaction from "Ofsted isn’t the onl..." 18:43:17 From Nick Corston : Reacted to "Ofsted isn’t the onl..." with 👍 18:43:57 From Dennis Sherwood : …oops - that’s ‘priority’ not ‘priory’! 18:44:43 From Annemarie Borg : Unless you internalised information and explore for yourself, you will not remember it… This is how I teach my students music and performance… 🙂 They make the music they learn their own… 18:45:12 From peter fischer Brown : the renaissance posited the need for three things: Sapienza (knowledge),, maestria (skills, mastering craft) and innovazione (innovation, creativity).

If anyone wants to join me in a Virtual Radix bar for a natter here's the Zoom link: bit.ly/radixbar 18:50:09 From Nick Corston : Very few teachers went into the job for the money! 18:50:28 From Steve Hubbard : Does PISA really only measure the parents attitude to education? 18:50:36 From Annemarie Borg : I believe Teaching is about communication skills, nurturing and facilitating… empathy with the students, ability to listen and summarise and feed back… And the willingness to learn as well 18:50:39 From Val Fraser : Retention of teachers is a huge issue. Very expensive too. 18:51:27 From Fleur Rossdale : Starting in primary education, children’s skills would do well by leaning from observing nature, protecting it and recognising a value system that involves caring for nature and each other. I write books to sew seeds of ideas that can grow organically in the minds of children to inspire symbiotic living. I demonstrate that without mistakes and struggles, there is less growth. 18:51:45 From Annemarie Borg : Reacted to "Starting in primary ..." with 👍 18:51:53 From Nick Corston : Replying to "Starting in primary ..."

Change the whole model. Training, curriculum, pedagogy, funding for schools, strict subject based boundaries defining ‘knowledge’. Sorry have to go now. 19:00:11 From Fleur Rossdale : Climate Chang as a subject is about finding purpose and adventure through the love of nature. 19:00:26 From Dennis Sherwood : Thank you! 19:00:28 From Nick Corston : See you in the bar here: bit.ly/radixbar 19:00:29 From Adam Rahman : Thank you, a wonderful and insightful discussion, lots to think about 19:00:35 From Nick Corston : Reacted to "Climate Chang as a s..." with ❤ 19:00:45 From Johnny Rich : Reacted to "Thank you!" with 👋 19:01:01 From peter fischer Brown : excellent discussion thank you 19:01:07 From Deneal Smith : Many thanks for this webinar - really thought provoking.

Chat history: 18:03:22 From Johnny Rich : Good evening everyone 18:06:06 From Anni Johnson : Please do tweet about the event - and do tag us @radix_uk 18:09:18 From Ben Rich : Please do feel free to comment here throughout 18:09:56 From Ben Rich : Questions, proposals and disagreements all welcome! 18:11:41 From Val Fraser : I’m a former OFSTED Inspector, Teacher Educator in HE and currently an Adviser for home educating families for an LA. Schools, especially secondary schools are haemorrhaging pupils. 8x increase in 20 years in my LA. 18:13:18 From Ben Rich : @Val Fraser Haemorrhaging pupils to home education or dropping out all together? And is your LA an outlier or typical 18:14:12 From Nick Corston : Replying to "I’m a former OFSTED ..." See Polly Toynbees piece in The Guardian last week on this: www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/nov/28/too-many-pupils-miss-lessons-ofsted-michael-gove-effect 18:18:39 From Johnny Rich : For the first time teacher recruitment is under 50% of targets and, for Physics, it’s not only never been as high as 50%, it’s now less than 20%. 18:21:29 From peter fischer Brown : Why is Iceland leading the European Tables for PISA? 18:22:47 From Val Fraser : We have created a business model of education and sadly in that model, children become either profit and loss on a ledger sheet. 18:23:52 From peter fischer Brown : radixuk.org/opinion/education-is-at-the-root-of-the-uks-social-immobility-and-inequality/ 18:26:30 From Ben Rich : Replying to "Why is Iceland leadi..." Good question - thoughts? 18:29:36 From Annemarie Borg : Very much agree with NickCorston, my project , the Antara Project concentrates on…: CREATIVITY and EDUCATION To teach any subject must include allowing one who learns to be creative, imaginative…to think… creativity > self esteem > inner strength > focus > courage > commitment > empowers us to tackle change and leads to a happier state of being

18:37:28 From Joanna Barker : But not enough people understood it. 18:37:29 From Jason McKenna : I think the Johnsonian Premiership really highlights the weakness of our system that we have no constitution to fall back on and that we are at the whim of a rogue PM at any time. Parliament is sovereign, but the reality is that a Prime Minister with a big enough majority can do what they want. We need a system where politicians and those in power are properly held to account, are truly answerable because at the moment the only reason why Boris Johnson is not because of him breaking Parliament rules, or the law, or his authoritarianism, but down to the fact that his party thought he was damaging their electability. Keir Starmer is no better with the purge of any dissenting views in his party. We are at a worrying crossroads of authoritarianism, especially if Labour win a super majority as expected. Radical reform is needed now 18:38:01 From Joanna Barker : Reacted to "I think the Johnsoni..." with 👍 18:38:01 From Michael Holland : Could both sides’ backbenchers agree to co-operate as a majority in FORCING the executive into certain accountable measures (e.g. select committees conducting confirmatory hearings for cabinet posts) 18:38:16 From Joanna Barker : spot on Jason 18:38:36 From Jason McKenna : Reacted to "spot on Jason" with 👍 18:38:51 From Ashton Cull : Replying to "What is 'pure' PR?" %votes = %seats 18:39:53 From Jason McKenna : Thanks for putting my question to everyone 18:40:00 From Joanna Barker : Reacted to "Thanks for putting m..." with 👍 18:40:26 From Nick Harvey : Replying to "What is 'pure' PR?" Only the Dutch come near that (that I know of). A system has to be functional. The German system is far from perfect, but much better than ours! 18:44:23 From Joanna Barker : PM never answers questions at PMQs 18:45:41 From Colin Ramsay : Are all members questions given to the PM beforehand ? 18:45:49 From Joanna Barker : PUnch and Judy politics! 18:46:54 From Ben Rich : Replying to "Are all members ques..." No although loyal backbench members of the Government will check their questions and/or ask very sycophantic ones! 18:47:55 From Colin Ramsay : Replying to "Are all members ques..." What about the leade... 18:48:31 From Ben Rich : Replying to "Are all members ques..." They certainly aren’t checked in advance but pretty predictable... 18:49:58 From Joanna Barker : Schools should teach political history so students understand how our system works and why it is important to vote. 18:50:11 From Ben Rich : Replying to "Are all members ques..." Also to be fair if you are a backbencher wanting to raise a non-party political issue you might well give a minister advance notice if you want a serious response 18:50:44 From Andy McGregor : one good way to keep up to speed with your MP's is to sign up to www.theyworkforyou.com and you get am email whenever a particular MP, Lord or topic is mentioned in Hansard 18:51:04 From Joanna Barker : Reacted to "one good way to keep..." with 👍 18:51:37 From Stephen Gosling : Reacted to "No although loyal ba..." with 👍 18:51:52 From Joanna Barker : W hyou think about teaching poilitical history as part of the curriculum? 18:52:09 From Michael Holland : I’d be interested in Nick and Paul’s views about the fact that the executive needs to agree to any reduction in its power (some hope!). So how could parliament FORCE its way to getting more accountability? 18:52:12 From Joanna Barker : CAn't rely on a hit and miss system . 18:53:01 From Joanna Barker : Why are you not engaging with the idea of schools playing a role in teaching young people? 18:53:02 From Nick Harvey : The best hope would be a hung Parliament where there is NOT a coalition which delivers a majority 18:53:22 From Joanna Barker : Reacted to "The best hope would ..." with 👍 18:57:07 From Ben Rich : @anna baxter to be fair to Julian Sturdy MP he turned up for an online call with the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign at which he was roasted - which was impressive. Not an easy call but I was pleased to hear his voice 18:57:56 From anna baxter : Replying to "@anna baxter to be f..." Ah wow! He was invited to the peace vigil last week but didn’t turn up, which was pretty disappointing. 18:58:01 From Barry James : TOO LATER - that big money lobbyists are already 'wagging the dog' I'm afraid. 18:58:35 From Ben Rich : Replying to "@anna baxter to be f..." I agree about that - in fact I thought it was weird to prioritise the PSC call over the vigil 18:58:38 From Andy McGregor : interesting webinare Thanks to all panel 18:59:00 From Avril Mackenzie-Parr : Thank you - really interesting discussion

Webinar Chat history: 18:07:28 From Andy McGregor : hello to everyone, from SE Northumberland 18:07:44 From Joanna Barker : Hi Andy ! 18:08:53 From Sarah Hart : Hello from Harrogate, North Yorkshire 18:09:09 From Joanna Barker : Ditto 18:11:16 From Jason McKenna : Jason McKenna here: My current PhD project is focusing on the supply side issue of women being put off in joining Parliament due to abuse. Do you believe that this is one of the biggest threats going forward as we have not got clear rules to help MP's deal with abuse? It cannot be normalised as part of the experience 18:11:19 From Joanna Barker : what consequences? 18:11:36 From Joanna Barker : He just lost a salary. 18:12:02 From Steve Hubbard : Hello, good to be here. Any thoughts on UBI? 18:12:10 From Barry James : Reacted to "what consequences?" with 👍 18:12:18 From Barry James : Reacted to "He just lost a salar..." with 👍 18:12:34 From Joanna Barker : Our system needs radical reform. It's antiquated and out of date. 18:12:49 From Barry James : Reacted to "Our system needs rad..." with 👍 18:13:40 From Joanna Barker : Written constitution ? 18:13:48 From Sarah Hart : MP’s only have to be accountable if they are caught out. 18:13:59 From Joanna Barker : Reacted to "MP’s only have to be..." with 👍 18:14:52 From Steve Hubbard : A lot of talk about PR - any thoughts? 18:14:58 From Joanna Barker : How about reforming modernising where parties get income from? Banning wealthy donors? 18:15:15 From Joanna Barker : Reacted to "A lot of talk about ..." with 👍 18:15:23 From Joanna Barker : PR is vital 18:15:58 From Joe Hirst : One thing I thought was the new voter ID laws bought in by the conservative government (ie young people’s bus passes not being accessible but older peoples’ are) seems like a cynical attempt to disenfranchise younger voters, especially from disadvantaged backgrounds who may not be able to access driving licenses / passports as easily. 18:16:14 From Andy McGregor : when we talk about "representative democracy" I think that our MPs and Cllrs are representative in the way a we choose a lawyer to represent us in court ( ie someone who understands the system and works for our benefit) rather than being representative of the make up population, (like one randomly selects a metre square of a field and examines the flora there and says it is representative of the whole field) 18:16:23 From Joanna Barker : Reacted to "One thing I thought ..." with 👍 18:16:39 From Sarah Hart : It’s good to see how diverse City of York Council is compared to other areas nearby. I’m wondering if it’s a party issue. 18:17:00 From Stephen Gosling : Are the panel aware of Unlock Democracy's report; "UK Democracy Under Strain: Democratic Backsliding and Strengthening 2019 - 2023" and if so would they conclude that Parliament and it's standards are, as it stands, too easily side-lined by the Cabinet? 18:17:21 From Joanna Barker : Reacted to "Are the panel aware ..." with 👍 18:17:52 From Joanna Barker : Nooo, schools should be tgeaching history and politics to everyone so we understand our society and how we are where we are 18:17:58 From Barry James : Reacted to "You can buy Can Parl..." with 👍 18:18:05 From Barry James : Reacted to "One thing I thought ..." with 👍 18:18:15 From Joanna Barker : The importance of unions is little understood by teenagers. 18:18:45 From Joanna Barker : Not many young people know how how political system ow 18:18:48 From Joanna Barker : works 18:19:06 From Yaromyr Senchenko : Hello, I'm year 1 politics student at Varndean college. I'm a Ukrainian refugee, who has been learning here already for 2 years, and I would say that it's really puzzling for me how can a state like the UK, one of the leading states in the world has got so outdated and flawed voting system (FPTP). In Ukraine, a country with lack of experience at statesmanship business, since we got rid of the soviet occupation only 32 years ago, has got way more developed voting system (mixed majoritarian and proportional), in comparison to the UK, a country that has got more years of experience in statesmanship. Why FPTP is still present? Thank you! 18:19:34 From Joe Hirst : Reacted to "One thing I thought …" with 👍 18:19:35 From Joe Hirst : Removed a 👍 reaction from "One thing I thought …" 18:19:53 From Joanna Barker : FPTP doesn't work anymore 18:19:55 From Yaromyr Senchenko : Reacted to "Nooo, schools should..." with 👍 18:20:04 From Stephen Gosling : It seems to me that the governance of business far exceeds the governance of government and shareholder meetings are more representative than our democracy. Surely our political model has just failed to keep up with our expectations. 18:20:56 From Joanna Barker : WE have to make Every Vote Matter 18:21:45 From Joanna Barker : a good reason for reform 18:22:32 From Joanna Barker : 😂 18:22:47 From Joanna Barker : well said Paul 18:22:51 From Barry James : Replying to "when we talk about "..." Ghandi was asked what he thought of western civilization - he responded 'it would be a good idea' This too. 18:23:32 From Michael Holland : What is the best or most effective way for parliament to hold the executive to account? 18:23:39 From Barry James : Reacted to "Nooo, schools should..." with 👍 18:24:14 From Joanna Barker : well said 18:24:35 From Joanna Barker : It was all about saving the Tory party 18:24:58 From Joe Hirst : Reacted to "It was all about sav…" with 👍 18:25:13 From Joanna Barker : And she paid a bung to the DUP 18:25:42 From Joanna Barker : Reacted to "It was all about sav..." with 👍 18:26:29 From Joanna Barker : Good point 18:26:40 From Ashton Cull : Nick: If the referendum didn't need to happen then remain would have won handily. do you not remember the growth of UKIP, and the dissent that accompanied it up to 2016? 18:27:38 From Joanna Barker : For many it seems like we have experienced a very British coup since 2016 18:28:02 From Andy McGregor : Having PR voting which will increase the likelihood of coalitions. This will be good because parties must seek areas where they can agree and work together, rather than always having an adversiarial to each other and "winning" by highlighting differences between their supporters rather than realising we have more in common. 18:28:28 From Joanna Barker : Reacted to "Having PR voting whi..." with 👍 18:31:01 From Andy McGregor : the 2019 election shows how bad FPTP is not showing how well works! 18:34:46 From Joanna Barker : we have been wallowing in a great sense of superiority since WW2 as the victors 18:34:55 From Stephen Gosling : Reacted to "For many it seems li..." with 👍 18:35:09 From Stephen Gosling : Reacted to "Having PR voting whi..." with 👍 18:35:25 From Joanna Barker : the system is adversarial - look at the layout! 18:35:39 From Ashton Cull : The current German system is not pure PR. It's predecessor the Weimar Republic was pure PR, and it only lasted 15 years. The Westminster system has lasted hundreds of years 18:36:53 From Nick Harvey : What is 'pure' PR? 18:37:25 From Andy McGregor : we want politicians to concentrate on finding workable solutions to the important issues facing society. Not just always thinking how to win elections and stay in power.

Capitalism needs more precise definition: “State sponsored Usury” is what people mean when referring to its illness. And not small scale craft production, for example.

Webinar chat history: 18:07:16 From Ben Rich : Just so everyone knows, we are on the record tonight and I see a number of journalists are on this call 18:08:33 From Sophie Cheadle : 📣 Please share any thoughts and questions in the chat! 18:15:22 From Vladimir Dimitroff : The mentioned 6 gen-Z's who went to address the EU on climate: how did they travel from Portugal to Brussels? Walk or cycle? (Just curious) 18:23:55 From Jonathan Tame : How do you suggest housing wealth is distributed more equitably now, given that monetary policies following the global financial crisis led to home owners gaining a huge amount of unearned wealth? 18:31:46 From Georgie : Do highly successful Gen Zs change their outlook about capitalism? Will they exacerbate/maintain inequalities? Or share? 18:32:44 From james dobree: Where are the views and values of Gen Z being generated? 18:34:18 From James Featherby : How do the financial markets need to change to release the corporate sector to become more socially energised? 18:36:15 From Israel Fouche : The UN projects that by 2050 the population of Africa will exceed 2.5 Billion. Do you have any perspectives about what will happen in the African context with this wealth transfer considering the global wealth inequality that persists along with a Western/ Northern centric economic system and the transitions bound to happen because of BRICS? 18:37:52 From Steve Hubbard : Please ask the panel how any of these things will happen without an honest view of how the system works - i.e. banks create money. 18:39:11 From Mary Dejevsky : on the poll that says 1 per cent of young people would vote Tory v 70 per cent for Labour. How do you think the Labour vote would break down if you asked them to choose between Corbyn Labour and Starmer Labour? 18:39:23 From Vladimir Dimitroff : Replying to "Do highly successful..." Are you asking - will they grow up one day? ;) 18:41:33 From Julia Phillips : Replying to "How do you suggest h…" This is the million dollar question. So much of the printed money has ended up inflating the property market. We also have the issue of an aging population and the housing stock is not suited for that. 18:41:47 From Matthew Hutton : Ken: you said that you can see each of the political parties addressing these issues. Can you summarise how they are doing that? Is there any common ground in their respective approaches? And are you or others, and if so how, engaged in trying to get the various parties to put your concerns higher up the agenda? 18:41:56 From Sophie Cheadle : 📣 Thank you for your questions everyone! Keep them coming 18:42:17 From JULIE CALKINS : Replying to "Do highly successful..." The system pushes you to change your outlook - once you're a hard-won homeowner you need prices to stay high, you might become a NIMBY etc or just apathetic to renter's plight. 18:42:32 From Jacob Field-Gibson : Reacted to "on the poll that say..." with 👍 18:43:02 From Julia Phillips : Replying to "Do highly successful…" What is a NIMBY 18:43:04 From simon lockyer : How does Ken see the possible abolition of IHT impacting on Boomer behaviour/thinking 18:43:26 From Jonathan Tame : Replying to "Do highly successful..." Not in My Back Yard - opposing new housing 18:43:35 From Georgie : Replying to "Do highly successful..." Asking if from the panel’s knowledge of Gen Zs the handful of extraordinarily successful without financial problems change their values? 18:43:42 From Barry Burles : With increasing robotisation and AI poised to disrupt many jobs and professions as they exist today, and today’s capitalism concentrating super wealth in fewer hands increasing the wealth gap, can society change fast enough to adapt to manage such disruptive forces and the consequences such as too few being able to afford to save for an adequate pension or to buy a house? 18:45:01 From Vladimir Dimitroff : Reacted to "on the poll that say..." with 👍🏼 18:47:27 From JULIE CALKINS : what if we framed it as a generational windfall tax then? 18:47:38 From Mark Essex : IHT is not double taxation. that's an excuse. Most of the estate is the primary residence which is an entirely unearned and untaxed windfall 18:48:05 From Mike Tuffrey : Reacted to "IHT is not double ta..." with 👍 18:48:10 From Julia Phillips : My Dad is a tax advisor and he absolutely hates inheritance tax! And has good ideas for how to legally protect assets for multi generations. The threshold has not been raised for years so loads of ordinary people will be liable for it. 18:48:40 From Mark Essex : i would scrap it too. But not because its double tax, because it is very easily avoided. id tax the residence 18:48:44 From Jo Clarkson : Reacted to "IHT is not double ta..." with 👍 18:49:00 From paul goldsmith : Reacted to "i would scrap it too..." with 👍 18:53:45 From Ben Rich : There is a case for replacing IHT with a wealth tax, because IHT doesn’t work to provide the redistribution it should - but the idea that wealth should as of right cascade down the generation belong in the Victorian age 18:53:50 From Qasim Mahmood : On the topic of democratisation of finance in the book, I would love to hear Ken and the panels thoughts on the risks of social media and AI for this new generation of investor. 18:58:55 From Vladimir Dimitroff : Two fundamental misconceptions drive all generational, social, geographic etc confrontations: 1. The belief that the solution to inequality is redistribution. It is absolutely NOT. 2. The belief, behind (1), that Equal and Fair are synonyms ?! Absolutely NOT! Most of the time unequal is Fair and Equal is unfair. As in: the mediocre and socially disengaged, the outright dumb and the selfishly lazy - being rewarded (through 'redistribution') equally with the talented, hard-working, and socially caring. THat would be so WRONG! IMHO fixing Capitalism (and humanity's current socio-economic model) should start not with redistribution, but with defining, understanding, explaining, educating and embracing the concept of FAIR INEQUALITY 18:59:48 From SANDRO PEREIRA DOS SANTOS : Regards from Boca Raton, USA 18:59:51 From JULIE CALKINS : Thank you :) 19:00:03 From Elizabeth Diaferia : Thank you 19:00:18 From Kryspin Janata : Thank you! 19:00:33 From Timi Merriman-Johnson : Thank you everyone! 19:00:40 From Claudia Costa-Rowse : Reacted to "Thank you everyone!" with 👏 19:00:43 From Abi Elohim : Reacted to "Thank you everyone!" with 👏 19:00:55 From Claudia Costa-Rowse : Reacted to "Thank you everyone!" with 👏 19:01:08 From Fleur Rossdale : Inspirational, with so much food for thought. Thank you and I look forward to reading Ken’s book. 19:01:14 From PETER HODSON : Thank you so much 19:01:19 From Lynette Uren : Thank you everyone 19:01:32 From Jason Bartholomew : Well done, Ken, Timi, Piers, and Jessica!

The findings were not implemented Jermy Hunt is a liar

All deaths of all causes have risen 40% globally since 2021. Losing near half the population certainly may be a contributing factor.

NHS Staff SACKED from 1st september 2022 > Why is no one in main media talking about the front line staff that walked into the fire of covid and are being finished on capabilities as they became ill with covid some died some suffer long covid and are now unable to work due to ill health. NHS mangers/government stance to these staff "They the NHS staff could have got virus anywhere". We were in lock down traveling to work in our own cars treating wards of covid infected patients many of us getting food delivered home. These staff like me are being let down and their families. The NHS has treated its own hero's badly clap clap!

we cannot STOP climate change, - we can CHANGE climate change ....and SOMETIMES we make a MESS!!! ...already, planes flying from Rome to New York are flying over England to spray stuff... - but the underlying theme is a wild animal known as our climate.... - the heat wave in the UK only happened because they laid off with all the planes....

Ireland is the EU, stop trying to separate that. When you talk to Ireland you talk to an EU member. This agreement was with the EU as a whole and not Ireland. Same as the UK ... Truss isn't from Northern Ireland and she is doing the negotiating. Not to mention this was Boris Johnson's proposal to get Brexit done! Soon after the protocol came into play Britain had done everything it can to not implement the protocol property to cause trouble only to blame the issues on the EU when in fact it was the uk implementation thats causing the trouble.

Ah yes…their theory of herd immunity…and what a joke it is…all based on pseudoscience germ theory…I wish science worshippers would realize that 99% of what they think is facts within science is actually just theory

What a true English gent. If only we had more of his number.

Brits have no ground to stand on to even begin talking about human rights and ethical foreign policies, LOL. What grotesque hypocrisy! Do y'all read any history books? Not even the far distant glorious days of the British empire. Just the recent past 20 years, just look at all the despicable deeds UK did in the global south following US as its loyal dog. Pathetic!

Brilliant presentation of a timely project. A program which is better for gamers than school.

That this can be watched by anyone at any time in a sense immortalises the great man and his words. Thank you for sharing this.

Hey George, still charging for pro bono work? Still putting claims in for 13pence for paper clips? You really do bleed everyone for everything you can get. What a piece of work you are. You should take a look at district councillors and see what honest hard working people they are. You select who you help and seem to chase photo opportunities to make yourself good. We all know what you’re really like though

a big mind in a humble man. much respect Mr. Scruton

It's a pity that this video has attracted so few people. If you want your videos to be seen by more, introduce in their title the idea of cute children or animals, they generate millions of views. Say, for exemple, that Sir Roger's hair ressembles that of a cute mini highland cow. The values of the conservatives derive from eternal principles that have long proved their worth, while those of the left are risky experiments based on the idea that man can shape things according to his whims and fancy, regardless of the consequences.

Rational thought in a crisis?

Haha some people are eating during this talk. I was wondering where that sounds came from 😂

SARS and MERS are corona viruses. Influenza is a coronavirus. Why don't these idiots stop acting like this SARS-CoV-2 is something COMPLETELY new? If it were, it wouldn't BE a corona virus! And, incidentally, on my first round of investigations into these table-top "war game" scenarios, such as Event 201, Dark Winter, Atlantic Storm and Clade X, when I looked into Cygnus, the reason I found that was given for the OVERALL lack of action in emergency preparedness was that of a lack of funds. That's why there was a lack of PPE and other preparatory measures made after the Cygnus exercise. I am about to go back over my previous investigation, (online sources), in greater detail and I would love to come back to this video and post my findings, should I find that information again.
