If you're looking for inspiration about making a difference in today's society, look no further. Dame Julia Unwin was Chair of the Inquiry into Civil Society Futures, which published in 2018. In the same year she wrote a report on The Role of Kindness in Public Policy for the Carnegie Trust. For ten years she was chief executive of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, where she was the driving force behind the 2016 report “UK Poverty: Causes, costs and solutions.” Julia thinks that we need “a fundamental rethink and recognise that we're here to serve people in poverty, to serve people who are disadvantaged, to serve people who haven't been given a fair chance.” That is not just about asking people questions, but also listening very carefully. Julia started her working life as a Field Worker for the Liverpool Council for Voluntary Services. Other roles have included Community Liaison Officer, Director of the Homeless Network, Chair of the Refugee Council, and Charity Commissioner. Julia says that most of her working life is the result of “accident and opportunity mixed with a bit of curiosity.” She's always sought to work where she could affect social change, “but to pretend there was a plan would be to mislead you.” The report on Civil Society Futures contends that “Civil society risks becoming irrelevant if we do not change”: Julia believes that new ways of organising are emerging constantly in communities, for example the response to the recent flooding in the UK, and there is a risk to the established institutions if they don't recognise the new ways of operating. Civil Society Futures has provided “a roadmap for how we can behave differently and how institutions and organisations can adapt their practices, behaviours and attitudes.” Julia maintains that local government has always been dependent on the network of association that naturally arises within any community. It's a recognition of this that has made ‘The Wigan Deal' a success, yet it is perilous to imagine that such networks are inexhaustible. She is concerned that there is a tendency to use the same procurement approach for all local authority services, and that the approach that works for IT and cleaning may be ill-suited to civil society relationships, with the consequence that the authority risks being further distanced from the community. The Wigan Deal and similar initiatives in the NW have positioned local government as a resource for the community, and not the community as a resource for local government. The deal embodies a new relationship for those organisations which are (to use a 70s turn of phrase) ‘outside the state.' The Wigan Deal and similar initiatives have also ushered in a different style of leadership, one which requires courage and flexibility, and the ability to follow as well as lead. Julia would contend that the success of such arrangements depends on a network of leaders rather than a single leader. The deep connections that people make with one another are essential to those networks. However, there are developments that militate against the new way of leading is that leaders don't always have the permission and the space to lead on account of social media for example. Julia is “a huge optimist” – humans have always been at our very best in difficult times. “The Sheffield civil society that you can see outside of this office was created in the heat of the industrial revolution when people's lives were utterly miserable…” She says it is “important that we have the tools and the self-belief to think that we can do something about it.” Julia sees the declaration of a climate crisis by the Government is a tipping point in the realisation (though it may not be a tipping point in action yet) that there is an issue to be faced. She would contend that the last general election was a tipping point that reflected the deep despair and anger in some parts of England. Julia would agree with Kirsty McNeill of Save the Children that civil...

Liverpool Council isn't flying the flag for Prince Andrew's birthday. What does this mean for the future of the royals?

Councils have the power to resist continued Tory austerity. It’s budget-setting season again for local authorities in Britain. The Tories in central government have succeeded in making local councils do their dirty work and implement savage austerity for a decade. In fact, so successful was this strategy, that the lack of any practical distinction between Labour and Conservative at a local level was a significant factor in Jeremy Corbyn’s general election defeat in December. From the perspective of many in working-class communities, nothing ever seems to change. So why bother voting for Labour? But the general election is behind us for now. Council jobs and services are utterly threadbare. And there is major economic uncertainty ahead. Councils have a choice. Either carry on acting as managers of austerity - as tame local representatives of Tory central government. Or set no-cuts budgets, and demand the stolen millions back from Westminster - as fighting representatives of local workers and residents. This could even paralyse and eventually overturn Johnson’s unstable government. The Socialist Party calls on Labour councils to fight, and for Labour leadership candidates to commit to pushing for such a fight. It’s the same road taken successfully by the famous socialist Liverpool Council in the 1980s. Now is the time to take the Liverpool Road once more. This is a re-run of episode 16 from January 2019. The situation has changed, but the need for council to fight has not. This episode of Socialism asks: are no-cuts council budgets possible?

Kathy & Rob Lapsley tragically lost their 6 year old daughter, Jasmine, after she died choking on a grape. The Anfield couple told Mick Coyle how they have since set up a charity in their daughter's name to provide support for bereaved families. 'Love Jasmine' holds support groups for parents who have lost children of all ages and also siblings who have lost brothers and sisters. Kathy & Rob have been campaigning to scrap child burial & cremation fees in Liverpool and have had the full backing of the Liverpool Council.

Should Labour MPs be scared of Jeremy Corbyn-supporting movement Momentum? The group says it is attempting to build on the the groundswell of support for Jeremy Corbyn. Still in its infancy it has already drawn the ire of Labour MPs and activists and sections of the press. They've been compared to the Militant Tendency that took over Liverpool Council in the early 1980's. They've been accused of aspiring to deselect disloyal MPs and have been described as a hard left rabble. Some Labour MPs are worried about their rise, but what is Momentum and what do they want? Stephen Bush of the New Statesman has been to Walthamstow, home of just one of these new groups, to find out.

The song this week is one from the dim and distant past….it’s a tribute to The Royal Iris which graced the Mersey for many years….it was affectionately known as “the fish and chip boat” as there were many functions held on board where fish and chips were top of the bill…my band played on it on several occasions and on it’s last day of service I went down to Seacombe Ferry where it was moored and made a video…as I was the only one there I am the only one with footage of its last day…it is now rotting away down south somewhere….but it played a major part in the River’s history. Just when I thought television couldn’t get any worse I was unfortunate enough to watch the X-Factor under the misapprehension that it would have a new format…WRONG!!!...it was the same old drivel with the same old sob stories (which have no bearing on the act) with a gaggle of judges headed by Simon Cowell playing God…..with the contrived looks of surprise when someone delivers a reasonable performance which they MUST have seen in rehearsals….all that is required is to see the acts…we don’t need the camera,cutting to grandma and the whole family backstage every time their little darling hits a high note. There was a young guy on who was dedicating his song to a lost friend….with Cowell brushing away an imaginary tear…showing he does have a heart after all……..pass me the bucket…I need to throw up!!! It’s a big fat NO from me. I’ve just thought of a way to make an extra £300 a day….become an MP…build a moat….claim expenses for having it cleaned which guarantees you a seat in the House of Lords…job done…then all I have to do is make an appearance get my 300 nicker and do a U-Turn and go back home….to my moat. You couldn’t write this stuff….while they are building fences to keep out the immigrants they should build a 50 foot brick wall between us and the politicians….because we would get more sense talking to that. I think the government should have volunteered for this Mars project because they would fit in better up there than here. I have a good friend who is Indian and he tells me about the traffic in his country and there are 370 odd people killed on the roads EVERY DAY….this is more than those killed by terrorism or even wars….and this is a world problem…I’ve said for years that the police need to get a grip on this….but then we get the “lack of money” chestnut….I cannot see why cameras can’t be erected everywhere….with just a random selection working at any one time….THAT would slow the idiots down…AND it would make a fortune in fines…. Which links to the bus lane situation in Manchester….they have made 7 million pounds in fines over the last 5 years….2 million this year alone….of course this has caused an uproar…the answer is simple … don’t go into the bus lanes…the Liverpool Council have ceased the practice…maybe they should rethink. One of my pate hates from the past was The Monkees…I couldn’t stand those awful episodes where they were all trying to be funny…and failing…however I did like the songs because they had the help of REAL musicians….NOW they are over here (or two of them) to do a reunion tour….Peter Tork and Micky Dolenz have announced they are going to do some stadium gigs….they were on breakfast TV looking a bit worse for wear with Micky Dolenz still trying to be funny….not good….why do these so called pop stars have to try and be zany?...especially when they are dinosaurs….they are obviously short of a few bob….mind you the show should finish early so the audience can get back to the old folks home…..do me a favour lads…time to call it a day methinks.

Following the launch of Liverpool's new public bike hire scheme, City Bike, I was interested in following up on the city's vision for cycling. Councillor Tim Moore, Cabinet Member for Transport and Climate Change on Liverpool City Council kindly came into the Radio City studios. I played him an excerpt of what Chris Boardman said (see SoundCloud below). Here's an excerpt of my interview with Councillor Moore for NBS Live.
