What a wonderfully principled person who obviously had absolutely no way of knowing what a Tory government might do to the NHS prior to this precise moment. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
Party built on inegalitarian ideology, committed above all to preserving its class power, and to smashing public services in working class towns, fails to deliver “levelling up”. Shocking eh? By @JenWilliams_FT and colleagues. on.ft.com/3xSJtYm
I've just made this claim in the @NewStatesman. Who were the other theorists of Britain's democratic left that might rival David Marquand? A 5-part THREAD (The article is here: newstatesman.com/ideas/2024/04/…) Not Tom Nairn 1/

Must have tweeted this Marx quote on at least 5 occasions, I think about almost every day.
Of course I agree but I also reckon there's about a 10% chance that this is what's going to happen, not because Starmer et al are secret heroes but because they don't really care at all what policies they implement as long as they get to be the people implementing them.

Karl Polanyi, the Austrian-Hungarian social theorist, died 60 years ago today. His view that the liberalising movement of capitalist societies meets its resistance in a countermovement defending society from atomisation and commodification is a powerful explanation of our time.
The Rwanda Bill is a smokescreen. The Tories won't stop at deporting refugees. Here's why.
This doesn’t make sense if The Adults Are Back In Charge, but I note it’s exactly what you’d expect if the Tories had finally been permitted to collapse while the press worked night and day to shitefest some deeply unpleasant wankers into place to succeed them, offering nothing.
Alison Winch, @lemonbloodycola and I will be talking to @FUTURESPodcast about Hegemony Now at Housman's this Thursday evening. It's free and details are here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/hegemony-now….
The political, media and corporate class seem to be hellbent on destroying society. Young people overwhelmed by debt, children inundated with gambling ad. Meanwhile the planet burns. Yet anyone raises the idea that capitalism is out of control is smeared.
The only regret from its proponents must be how much social housing still remains.
It isn't dysfunctional, it's working exactly as it was intended too - redistributing wealth upwards.

@jemgilbert I'm not sure if this is the disconnected student generation or the reconnected generation - for a start, if they turn up, they screengrab the projected points rather than make notes, before going online for more standardized course relevant output - producing very similar essays
@judenonesuch @jemgilbert By the first I mean universities generally charge tuition. By the second I mean the culturally dominant measure of the value of a course of study is the credential it results in, rather than the intellectual substance it consists of.
@jemgilbert Especially when the lecture's expensive, pitched as primarily instrumentally valuable (such that enrolling without attending is more valuable than attending without enrolling), and when the instrumental end supposedly served is rapidly evaporating.

@jemgilbert One thing I worry about with the shift to remote work is the loss of socialisation of junior people. There's so much I learned from hanging around with my elders. Made me part of a community. I don't think the kids are getting that through a screen. Falls under that umbrella?

This is not unique. Something is basically broken in higher education. Lecturers try their best to make seminars interesting & useful but fewer and fewer students are turning up.
