Director of Demos quits

Stephen has already flagged this, but Catherine Fieschi has resigned as Director of Demos. She sets out her reasons for leaving in The New Statesman as well as defending Demos’s decision to attending Islam Expo. (There is no reason to think that her departure has anything to do with Demos’s participation in Expo).

Demos played a key role in the early years of the New Labour project. Who is appointed to this job will offer a fascinating insight into where the intellectual energy now is on the left.
