Just finished listening to @jemgilbert.bsky.social and @profafinlayson.bsky.social’s three part podcast series on the state of British universities - such a well informed and lucid analysis of the crisis and its historical and political causes, can’t recommend it highly enough

Looking forward to speaking in London next week on why liberal democracies create militarized police readied for authoritarian rule (spoiler alert: the answer is not about whether you have liberal or right wing leaders but rather is about histories of colonialism).

Me, in the Guardian today, on Reform voters and sympathisers in England's post-industrial towns www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Snippet from a Guardian article, which reads: "This is the political paradox of England’s post-industrial towns. While it is true that Reform is building its base in former mining and manufacturing areas, the local people who can be won over to progressive politics will only be convinced by being less like Reform, not more. Winning in post-industrial England requires connecting with its popular radicalism.

“A lot of working-class people, they don’t want a lot,” says Martin, the former miner. “They want enough to get by and to have nicer things in life. To go on holiday and to have good food and things like that. They are not bothered about yachts and aeroplanes – not in my eyes, anyway. They are just happy enough to get through in life with a job, a secure job to pay the mortgage and to look after their family … At the end of the day, that is what I think. When you have got peace of mind with that, you can’t beat it.”"

"Many ... commentators argue that we have shifted between two distinct phases, from liberalism to illiberalism. Instead, what I want to argue is that these two systems are cojoined, and at any specific moment, the underlying illiberalism upon which liberalism is founded can emerge and predominate"
