From redbaiting to racist policies, the Tories have launched a concerted attack on the Black Lives Matter movement, writes Kimi Chaddah. We can’t let them get away with it.
Across the West, the right is cracking down on anti-racism. Why? Because if a genuine, substantive anti-racist politics went truly mainstream, it'd be the end of conservatism as we know it, argues David Wearing.
If we are to solve major global issues like the coronavirus pandemic and the climate crisis, we must abandon the Tories’ individualistic version of freedom for a model that prioritises the collective, writes Keir Milburn.
How are millionaire property developers and retired homeowners finding common cause in the Conservatives? The answer isn’t shared cultural values, argues Samuel Earle – it’s a shared investment in the housing market.
Earlier this month the government announced plans to cut funding for arts subjects at universities by 50%. Why? Because attacks on the arts play into the Tories’ confected culture war between salt-of-the-earth folk with ‘proper’ jobs and the ‘metropolitan elite’, argues Chardine Taylor-Stone.
While most voters don’t know what the ‘culture war’ even is, the Tories are making it the centrepiece of their governing strategy. Samuel Earle argues Johnson, like Thatcher, is playing the long game – and total control over the terms and conditions of political debate is the goal.
