maybe the last good thing this country had going for it—an NHS that is free at point of use—regularly fails to deliver timely care, is being sold off to private interests, and is now part of the brutal DWP surveillance/forced labour regime. adding a license to kill???

[Avery Edison @aedison]

not trying to be glib but I genuinely can’t think of a single mechanism, procedure, or industry that functions for the benefit of working class people in this country. the systems designed to help us are either failing, or have been turned against us. why add more?

[Aurelien Mondon @aurelmondon]

The process of mainstreaming far-right politics is a multi-faceted (but fairly obvious) one

Starmer & his supporters claim reclaiming far right issues is what won them the election as it addressed "the people's legitimate grievances"

Yet this has been tried many times and...

No show for far right in Newcastle either, Unite the Kingdom demos = fascist flops.
Rotherham saw a motley crew of goons in pic, 2 play @gladtobegay songs!?

Massacre after massacre in Gaza but the world seems to have moved on. Shameful.

If you're interested in Trumpism, the mainstreaming of the far right, degrading of democracy & role of the liberal centrism & populist hype in it, check out Reactionary Democracy @VersoBooks by @aurelmondon & me - and demand new horizons #electionday2024

Israel’s ground invasion in southern Lebanon is yet another escalation that will kill yet more civilians.

Our government cannot stand by while Israel's actions continue to broaden war in the region.

We must impose immediate sanctions - starting with ending all arms sales.

[Aurelien Mondon @aurelmondon]

The far right is doing well in elections not because it is popular, but because it is constructed as the only alternative to a deeply unpopular status quo

This is a conscious strategy by mainstream elite to offer a choice between them and worse, thus legitimising the worse

[Ninian James @ndfrenguelli]

Just sent my supervisor what will hopefully be the final draft of my thesis. Big moment of truth where I find out if the proofreading and editing I did myself made it better or worse

[Verso Books @VersoBooks]

Your support will help us publish more than fifty titles this Autumn, including books on Palestine, decolonisation, climate breakdown, and much more.

[Verso Books @VersoBooks]

In July our UK distributor, Marston Book Services, filed for bankruptcy. They owe Verso nearly £1 million for book sales stretching back to January. This is a major blow to Verso.

[Verso Books @VersoBooks]

Comrades! Verso needs your support for radical publishing!

[Verso Books @VersoBooks]

Throughout your time in education you will be asked: ‘So, what’s your dream job?’.

But what if you do not dream of labour?

Try picking up post-work books for thinking beyond the confines of capitalism.

A reminder for those so inclined to sign up the below - it looks to be a fabulous day and valuable for any ECRs who struggle to know how to make their theory more grant-able/grant-friendly! (note room shift to Arts Two 2.1&)
