This is what I see when I hear Oakshottian conservatism.

The "Hubs Theory of Everything" is one of the most pernicious kinds of policy meme. So much public policy is based on the premise "one more hub will probably fix it", and usually this is a delusion. Great research by Louis Elton

This really popped off. Perhaps this is the beginning of the end of The Hub?

And to be clear: the tyranny of the Hub is a cross-party phenomenon! Death to Hubs. Victory to Places!

It’s time for a neo-Temperance movement against brainrotting and swipewanking. Neo-Luddism is a dead end … but perhaps we can learn from the genius of the liqueur-taming Temperance activists. Featuring Will Orr-Ewing and #APPstinence

Loved speaking to Louis Elton for his piece on Neo-Temperance. His writing ever immensely enjoyable throughout: "tying salvation to the destruction of techno-capitalist civilisation is not a winning formula with the less insane." unherd.com/2026/01/its-ti…
