Now is the time for Gordon Brown to restate Labour's commitment to a social Europe argues former Blair adviser, Roger Liddle in a new Freethinking essay. If the EU is to be economically successful, politically sustainable and gain the legitimacy to be effective in the wider world, there must be a renewed focus on Europe's social mission.
Liddle argues that European member states face common social challenges that demand an effective response from the EU. But facing rising tides of Left and Right populism across Europe, it is unable to meet the challenge of shaping globalisation with social justice.

This will demand major changes in how the Party thinks, organises and acts.

Cabinet Office Secretary Ed Miliband promises he will involve parliamentary colleagues and the wider Labour movement in drawing up the next manifesto, he tells Hannah Jameson.
