Joe Todd
I’m a writer, researcher and political strategist with an interest in left parties and socialist organisation. I write for the Guardian, Novara Media and on Substack, as well as co-hosting the Life of the Party podcast.
I am a senior fellow at the Autonomy Institute, and a senior research associate at the Whirlwind Institute.
I was the Head of Communications at Momentum during the 2017 and 2019 general elections, and also helped found The World Transformed, Common Knowledge and the Movement Research Unit.
