Extremely informative visualisation of how this deeply disappointing Labour government has lost ground on both its left and right, to both Greens and to Reform. It also shows how the shape of British politics can no longer be contained within a First Past the Post system.

We start by positioning our concept of raced finance within a set of conceptual categories: racial capitalism, race, and racialization, drawing inspiration from @maliniranga.bsky.social, Nikhil Pal Singh, @tilley101.bsky.social, @robbieshilliam.bsky.social, @ulasince.bsky.social and others 3/n

New article! How is finance ‘raced’, and why is this the case? With what consequences for our understandings of race, finance, and capitalism? To explore this, we develop a 'raced finance' analytic, grounded in political economy and racial capitalism debates. Link 👇🏾and 🧵:

1/ There's a system of ocean currents in the Atlantic that shapes Europe's #climate, drives monsoons, and keeps sea levels stable along the US coast. In the last 5 years, the scientific evidence that it could collapse has shifted dramatically. Most people have no idea. 🧵

The background shows sea surface temperature trends, with a prominent blue cold patch, the "cold blob", south of Greenland, contrasting with warming (orange/red) across the rest of the ocean.
