Not just the Big Society: community politics and the labour movement
The Independent Commission on Neighbourhoods asked Phil Tinline to write an essay exploring the history of community politics, giving him a free hand to do so.

Phil Tinline is a writer and journalist. He has produced reports for IPPR and for the Future Governance Forum, where he is a Policy Associate. His work has appeared in the New Statesman, Prospect, The Times, the Daily Telegraph, the Financial Times, The Observer, Engelsberg Ideas and The New World, and on BBC Radio 4. He is the author of The Death of Consensus and Ghosts of Iron Mountain
