Description

In 2011 I wrote The Courageous State — a call for governments that act with purpose and confidence, not cowardice. Fourteen years later, we still live with austerity, outsourcing and fear. I argue it’s time to reclaim the language of democracy — to speak of courage, care, and common purpose.


The words we choose decide the world we live in.


Watch now — and ask yourself: Do you want a courageous state?
