Don't mention the culture wars! @wellings_ben from @MonashUni on why a Fawlty Towers reboot for the 2020s is likely to become a political football in the culture wars:

Something for the weekend? Sunday 10am @wellings_ben @Monash_Arts joins hosts of @RadioNational Minefield to discuss whether rebooting Fawlty Towers in a time of anti-woke culture wars would detract from the period-specific brilliance of the original: 🫤 https://t.co/x5TYgxiS7N

@wellings_ben @Monash_Arts analyses the political forces that #rishisunak, the new UK Prime Minister, will face as he attempts to address economic crises at the helm of a dysfunctional party and with policy levers that are no longer fit-for-purpose:

Big thanks to @Monash_Arts students in my 'Nationalism and the EU' units in during lockdowns in 2020 and '21. The article based on the class came out this week in @n_nationalism: https://t.co/vQ2UDRFNC4
...and it's open access!

@wellings_ben covers more routine stuff from the alternative reality that is the Conservative Party: https://t.co/AiDfWOhD0y

[Monash Politics & IR @MonashPolsIR]

In another slow news day in British politics, @wellings_ben argues that the Conservative party's troubles are all self-inflicted and the party is behaving as if it is already in opposition: https://t.co/XYxCqcmUgn

[Monash Politics & IR @MonashPolsIR]

As the new UK government led by Liz Truss heads down an ideological rabbit hole, @wellings_ben and @ZarehGhazarian explain why the British Conservatives should be worried about meeting the same fate as the Liberal Party of Australia at the 2022 election: https://t.co/yjhVWFN1xA

[The Project @theprojecttv]

U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson will face a no-confidence vote today after months of anger over lockdown parties. But has Australia's recent election result inspired change in the U.K.? Anthony Albanese quoted @billybragg during the election, and he joins us.

[Ben Wellings @wellings_ben]

@MonashPolsIR As pressure grows for a spill motion against Boris Johnson, I argue that there are 4 reasons that Conservative MPs should be worried by the outcome of the Australian election, not least integrity in politics and a shift in women's voting:

[Ben Wellings @wellings_ben]

As the results of election in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland come in, @wellings_ben explains why we are witnessing the death of Conservatism as we know it in the UK - a predictable, if lamentable, consequence of Boris Johnson's leadership.

Boris Johnson's involvement in 'Partygate' is not about his continued career prospects or otherwise, it is about the damage to trust in politics that his actions create: https://t.co/YroXo1X7S0

Boris Johnson's leadership troubles relate to Brexit in three ways: the perception of weakening support in the 'Red Wall'; his 'technopopulist' leadership style; and the half-baked nature of Brexit: https://t.co/C22XIcA6RV
