Labour have put working class culture, communities and grassroots sport at the heart of their mission for change - and it is one I share, writes Michael Dugher
In the seven years since I stood down from Parliament, as CEO of UK Music and then the BGC, I’ve seen a lot of DCMS ministers come and go. Some were very capable, some were nice people, some (mentioning no names) were neither. So I was genuinely curious to see how Labour’s new team would set out their stall.

Pensions are in desperate need of reform - this is how the next government should do it
It’s never too early to think about retirement, so the old adage goes. The more you’re able to save now, the more you can do when you stop working.
