Something like this I guess? Climate of Hunter would once have been way down my list of favourite Walker albums, but increasingly think it's a masterpiece (rather than the transitional album it's usually described as).

"In Yemen you've got Royal Saudi Air Force jets, flown by Saudi pilots, but the pilots are trained by Britain. The bombs are supplied by Britain. The maintenance is supplied by Britain... And that British support sustains the aerial operations..." - @davidwearing.bsky.social

Great to be back on Politics Theory Other, one of my favourite podcasts. With Alex, you're always guaranteed to have a great conversation, and I appreciated the opportunity to get into the details of our call for the UK to pay reparations to Yemen.

My pleasure to go on the PTO podcast. We discuss US-UK labor & race & empire struggles — amid WW2 antifascism — as ‘foreign’ and ‘domestic’ politics were blurred. This draws from my new book — TROOP MOVEMENTS. We can trace an arc of such dynamics from the 1940s to 1960s, from post-9/11 to Trump.
