I'm delighted to say I've been commissioned by @HoZ_Books (UK) & @ScribnerBooks (US) to write a book about America's political nightmares. So after 20 exhausting, exhilarating years of making docs at BBC Radio, I'm going freelance to write. And make more docs. And...let's see.
A great read (as ever) by @phil_tinline - on the history of state-funded community empowerment in the UK, and how a new generation of “trailblazer neighbourhood” pilots could rebuild public trust in an era of abject dissatisfaction with government newstatesman.com/politics/2025/…
Co-operatives have always been about more than business. They’re how communities have built power and trust from the ground up for decades. Phil Tinline dives into Labour’s communitarian tradition, and what it means for neighbourhoods today. 📖👇
What if one solution to winning back the public's trust is...to trust the public? Weekend Essay for the @NewStatesman on the labour movement's long history of working with communities to make life a bit better, based on my paper for @iconeighbours: newstatesman.com/politics/2025/…

Este libro de @phil_tinline es, de lejos, lo mejor q se ha escrito sobre el mecanismo interno de las conspiraciones desde "United States of Paranoia" de @notjessewalker. Five Starts como cinco soles. Tinline no es experto, es de los que sabe de lo que habla. De esos no hay tantos
Jonathan Rutherford’s Blue Labour ideas are at the heart of No 10’s political plans. But will it be enough to save Keir Starmer at the next election? Asks @phil_tinline thenewworld.co.uk/phil-tinline-c…
Can Blue Labour see off Farage? ✏️@phil_tinline thenewworld.co.uk/phil-tinline-c…
I mean, I often write about how politics is haunted by the ghosts of the past, but
This whole exchange is gold.
Really looking forward to this - if you're in town, come by!

This week on War Movie Theatre, we're joined by @Sanchia7 in the Kent countryside as we hunt a creepy stalker. But is he just an enthusiast for adult education? It's Poweel and Pressburger's "A Canterbury Tale"... Wherever you get your podcasts.
Most US Democrats seem stunned in the face of Trump. But there is action at the grassroots level. There were 2,085 street protests this February, as against 937 in February 2017, writes @phil_tinline. prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/united-s…
The Monocle Daily: @tessaszy and @phil_tinline discuss the new Russia sanctions and what appears to be a dramatic waning of patience for some of Israel’s allies. Plus: what are the benefits of elevating mayors to a country’s presidency? monocle.com/radio/shows/th…
Faced with an administration far more ruthlessly organised than last time, most US Democrats seem stunned. But at the grassroots levels, there is more activism than the media is portraying, writes @phil_tinline. prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/united-s…
