They include this one of living wage organiser Matthew Bolton.
Meanwhile, Ed Miliband on London Citizens in the Guardian here:
We need to inspire people with a sense of idealism about our party as well. That means a party that gives voice to members and that is a living social movement. That’s why, learning from London Citizens, unions and others, I have launched a campaign for a living wage that I want party members and others to get involved in.
But a note of scepticism from Madeleine Bunting — also in the Guardian — here:
You can see them struggling to find a new language to replace the managerialism and technocratic competence that deadened the nation’s soul. David Miliband made a pitch about the need for new moral norms in his attack on the banks, but what morality is he talking about and what place does it have in politics? Not clear. Meanwhile, his brother followed the now well-worn path to London Citizens‘ community organising, a model rooted in religious institutions, without any explanation of how it would work divorced from faith. Both sounded well intentioned, but also as if they were scrabbling desperately in an empty cupboard.
