Rob Jones and I have an article forthcoming in the Journal of Law and Society: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... We ask whether it’s possible to speak meaningfully of a ‘right’ to use the Welsh language in prison. Our answer: not really.

Is there a ‘right’ to use Welsh in prison?
The use of the Welsh language is generally understood as a ‘right’ in contemporary Wales. While this right is often lauded as one of Welsh devolution's defining achievements, the efficacy of current ....

Andy Burnham has argued for public control of water and energy, but what kind of public ownership can meet the challenges of environment and climate breakdown? In a blog for the @ukcla.bsky.social, I explore a case study of Labour's post-war nationalisation of electricity. [1/3]

It's just obvious that there is no good reason, at all, for the government to legislate what toilets you can go into. This is a thing that civil society was quite capable of working out. We're here because the GCs found civil society didn't share their rabid obsessive hatred so they played the refs.

Here I argue the Home Secretary's case that Palestine Action is concerned in terrorism is lacking in evidence, and proscribing the group is disproportionate. It will criminalise a significant proportion of civil society and be counterproductive for maintaining safety.

No matter how often I see this data, I always find it shocking. Of all the massive growth in output produced by the world's workers since 1980, more than half of it has been captured by the richest 1%. This is what happens when capital controls production.

New publication in Industrial Law Journal 🎉 The early EU once imagined a different kind of environmental policy. It was rooted in social democracy, not neoliberal logic. It's open access so you can give it a read at the link below 👇 doi.org/10.1093/indl...

"What can be offered as a resolution is not a ‘correct interpretation’, a new rights challenge, or even a new law, but something which challenges the very root of these social oppressions." A really thoughtful, provocative essay on FWS.

I was supposed to discuss our book *The End of College Football* tonight in Washington, DC. I won't be there because I was denied entry to the United States. They refused to say why; my best guess is some combo of the inauguration, politics, Palestine, and maybe, a new normal.

Israel killed more than 51 Palestinians in Gaza today, and just now there are reports of a massacre in Jabalia, where more than 40 people were killed in an attack on a building where people were sheltering. Today’s toll alone will likely surpass 100 dead and more injured.
