  In this issue we continue discussion on a number of themes that are critical to rethinking left strategy and developing opposition to Coalition government policies - extending democracy across the regions and nations of the UK, a new welfare settlement, and a new political economy. Our first three articles explore Englishness, regionalism and localism. The next three continue our discussion on the public sphere, and in particular our efforts to alert readers to the massive withdrawal of support by the government for those living with incapacity or disability. The last five articles continue the search for a new political economy. In the year ahead Soundings will be analysing and developing the central themes in society, the economy and culture, to help create a Labour revival, and a new political strategy for the left.
