Maurice Glasman rose to prominence after the last election as the social thinker most closely associated with the ideas around ‘Blue Labour’, a term he invented. A senior lecturer in political theory at London Metropolitan University and a former community organiser with London Citizens, he was made a peer by Ed Miliband in February 2011 and is widely seen as one of the Labour leader’s most influential advisers.


Independent Labour Publications recently interviewed him at the House of Lords to talk about his ideas. The interview was in two parts; click here to read Part One & click here to read Part Two.
