Katz and Mair foresaw the rise of populism as a dialectic response to elite collaboration but not that mainstream parties would respond to right-wing populism by accommodating and attempting to outbid radical right narratives.

New research shows that ocean acidification has now crossed the planetary boundary. That's 7 of 9 boundaries crossed. Capitalism is driving ecological catastrophe and will continue to do so until we align production to a new law of value.

Austerity is the midwife of fascism youtu.be/UMa-aZVLI6I?si=ijkj… History shows it clearly: austerity creates the conditions in which fascism thrives. When governments strip away public services, weaken safety nets and deepen inequality, people lose hope in democracy and turn to authoritarian “strongmen.” From Weimar Germany to modern Britain, austerity is the midwife of fascism. The only way forward is investment, trust and care.

We have an economy that allows the financial sector to earn profits without investment in productive capacities.
On 'The Rest is Money' with @peston and @stephlunch, discussing why obsessing over fiscal "black holes" misses the point. The real question isn't how much government spends, but whether public investment expands productive capacity and creates the conditions for sustainable growth.

Though this pattern has integrated many actors into the system it has also created ‘outsiders’ – new protest driven civil groups and radical challengers from the left and right.

Yesterday I spoke to @CarolineLucas
She described the treatment of both @faizashaheen & @HackneyAbbott by Starmer’s Labour as ‘deliberate humiliation’ & cruel.
My latest blog with @AndreKrouwel for @LSE has just gone live. In it we point to the strong support amongst Dutch voters for the European project in the eye of the Populist storm symbolised by the success of @geertwilderspvv blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2…
