About Me
- Tom Powdrill
- Ex-TUC official now working for a consultancy that deals with corporate governance and shareholder engagement. I'm interested in getting the labour movement and the Left to understand the capital markets properly. There's plenty that needs fixing, but we need to get beyond simplistic anti-City and anti-business rhetoric to do it.
