The Times today carries an article on Cambridge’s vote on the retirement age. If anyone wants to know what i think (they probably don’t!), I’m fully committed to a retirement age. It’s called inter-generational fairness. I’m pleased to have made way for earlier career scholars.

In this article I re-visit the origins of British cultural studies at Birmingham as implicitly a 'peace time' field disrupted in the 70s by Hall and Gilroy but overall not fully equipped for war, violence and global conflict journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13…

I have a plan for an umbrella. The umbrella has been purchased, and is ready to go.

I f—-ing love this country. 🇬🇧

Steve Bray blaring out “things can only get better” as Rishi stands drowning in the rain is a British comedy moment for the ages.

Let’s do ourselves a solid - let’s boot these charlatans out and rejoin our European friends.

If you can't grasp 'it's raining, there's no cover, you'll look shit', I don't think politics is really your thing

Sunak’s message that we are living in dangerous times and he is the man to keep us safe was rather undermined by his Mr Bean like speech. If he can’t organise an umbrella for himself, do we really want him to organise our defences against Putin?

Please don’t think this is in the bag, I’m going to need your support if the general election is called today

Publication day! Delighted to have coedited, with Nico Pizzolato and Ilaria Favaretto, this special issue for Modern Italy , with fantastic articles by Alessandra Gissi, Eloisa and others

Historic lack of investment dating to the early 2000s or just before, preference for free market profits to private equity, abandonment of 'social democracy' then outcomes require hard work of thousands to see some sort of justice for those who have perished, the neoliberal path
