Outflanking Populism: A Manifesto to Inspire Trust, to Create Hope, and Demand Immediate Positive Change

The election of a Labour Government with a 166 seat majority after 14 years of Tory misrule and corruption looked like an opportunity to turn a new page. With the political sensivitity of a land mine, Starmer and Reeves dashed those hopes, implementing Tory policies, following discredited Tory fiscal rules, and forgetting how Keynesian economics had helped forge a new post-Second World War settlement and the Welfare state. They are gifting the country to the populists who feed on discontent and seductively promise real change, to clear up the mess, get rid of the “same old, same old”, while hiding their true policies.

George Evans has created a manifesto for real change in this important book – demanding a new inclusive settlement based on immediate action, so people can trust the Government again, see crimes dealt with, and wrongs like the Post Office scandal speedily corrected to give people hope again.

George Evans – an ex-county councillor, ex-Labour Parliamentary candidate, who left the Labour Party when Jeremy Corbyn refused to oppose Brexit – is passionate about ensuring that the populists can’t destroy our NHS and the real fabric of our society. Now is the time to inspire people, and give them reasons for optimism.
