Redeeming the “Ordinary Working Class” Robbie Shilliam
Redeeming the “Ordinary Working Class” Robbie Shilliam Forthcoming – Current Sociology (2020) Introduction In describing for the Sunday Telegraph what she envisaged to be Britain’s post-EU “shared society”, Prime Minister Theresa May (2017) explicitly placed the “ordinary working class” as its prime deserving constituency. May’s address, while not providing a sociological definition, nonetheless gave a clear sense of what, to her, counted as “ordinary”. The Prime Minister first detailed a set of social injustices linked to impoverishment, racism, and mental health. However, May argued in the following paragraph that the mission to build a “stronger, fairer Britain” had to go further. She then set aside those “obvious injustices” that she had just listed for a focus on the “everyday injustices that ordinary working class families feel are too often overlooked”. These injustices did not pertain to social exclusions and inequalities born from poverty, racism or disability but were rather related to income security and inter-generational social mobility. Effectively, May normalized the working class beneficiary of Brexit as a capable white family that sought to preserve its orderly independence. Critical responses to the rise of right-wing populism in the Western World have done much to draw attention to the racialization of moral economies. It has become clear that the white working class is the fundamental constituency of contemporary populist imaginaries – a constituency unfairly left behind and now deserving of redemption from the vicissitudes of globalization including competition from non-white and/or migrant labour (for example Tilley 2017; Roediger 2017; Bhambra 2017; Virdee and McGeever 2017; Emejulu 2016; Sayer 2017). -
Analysing and Exploring the Global City London: Modernity, Empire and Globalisation
LNDN URBS 3345: Analysing and Exploring the Global City London: Modernity, Empire and Globalisation CAPA LONDON PROGRAM Course Description Cities around the world are striving to be ‘global’. This course focuses on the development of one of the greatest of these global cities, London, from the nineteenth through to the twenty first century and investigates the nature and implications of its ‘globality’ for its built environment and social geography. We will examine how the city has been transformed by the forces of industrialisation, imperialism and globalisation and consider the ways in which London and its inhabitants have been shaped by their relationships with the rest of the world. Students will gain insight into London’s changing identity as a world city, with a particular emphasis on analysis of the city’s imperial, postcolonial and transatlantic connections; the ways in which past and present, local and global intertwine in the capital; and comparative study of urban change worldwide. The course is organised chronologically: themes include the Victorian metropolis; London as an imperial space; representations of the city in media, film and popular culture; multicultural London; London as a commercial centre of global capitalism; the impact of the Olympics and other urban ‘mega- events’; future scenarios of urban change. 1 Course Aims The course will mix classroom work with experiential learning, and will be centred on field studies to sites such as Brixton, Spitalfields, Southbank, and the Olympic sites in East London to give students the opportunity to experience the city’s varied urban geographies first hand and interact with these sites in an informed and analytical way. -

Praise for George Osborne: The Austerity Chancellor ‘Janan Ganesh’s George Osborne: The Austerity Chancellor treads with skill and flair the awkward line between authorised and unauthorised biography. Ganesh … has an intuitive grasp of the Tory psyche … Revealing, penetrating, stylish and superbly written. Honestly, it’s a page-turner.’ – Matthew Parris ‘This timely book will be widely read by those wishing to understand one of the most powerful politicians of recent times. A lively account of the Chancellor’s career … it contains a great deal of fascinating new information.’ – Peter Oborne, Daily Telegraph ‘Ganesh’s dissection of what has driven the intellectual and political revival of the Tories is forensic and incisive.’ – Anne McElvoy, Mail on Sunday ‘Detailed and illuminating … an important biography.’ – The Guardian ‘Well researched, thoughtful and full of nuggets buried into the smoothest of prose … Ganesh treads deftly.’ – Independent on Sunday ‘This excellent biography … an insight into one of today’s most important politicians is extremely valuable.’ – Sunday Express ‘Janan Ganesh has produced a book that readers of all sorts will enjoy and dip into in the future. The author really knows his stuff.’ – Financial Times ‘Excellent biography.’ – John Rentoul ‘A pacy, well-researched book.’ – The Spectator ‘Fascinating biography.’ – Ted Jeory ‘Ganesh spills the beans as politely as possible.’ – Belfast Telegraph ‘Janan Ganesh produces a meticulously researched biography.’ – Oxford Today Prologue his is the unavoidable Budget.’ Summoned to speak at 12.34 p.m. on Tuesday 22 June 2010, the new ‘TChancellor of the Exchequer itemised the monstrosi- ties of his economic inheritance.

Revolt of the Rustbelt
tom hazeldine REVOLT OF THE RUSTBELT n the space of less than a year, the established political order of Ukania has received two successive, jolting blows—a referendum in which a population voted, against the express will of the leadership of all three major parties and an overwhelming major- Iity of the country’s parliament, to leave the European Union; followed by an election in which a 20 per cent lead in opinion polls for the sitting government vanished overnight, and the most radical opposition pro- gramme since Thatcherism, presented by the most vilified leader in the history of the country’s media, came close enough to victory to generate a hung parliament—one now confronted with fraught negotiations over the terms of departure from the eu. The dismay of bourgeois opinion at the plight of the state is the best register of the effect of the two temblors. ‘Chronic instability’, lamented the Economist, ‘has taken hold of British politics’, and it ‘will be hard to suppress’. Readers had to ask themselves: ‘What can come of this chaos?’1 The answer from the Financial Times was grimly tight-lipped: ‘The stablest of democracies has become the western world’s box of surprises.’2 To understand the dynamics that have produced this situation, the starting -point has to be a closer analysis of the pattern of Brexit. Like any popular poll, the 23 June 2016 referendum can be broken down in a variety of ways. But as the dust has started to settle, some facts stand out. Nationalist dynamics produced wins for Remain in Scotland and Northern Ireland, while Wales’s 80,000 net votes for Leave amounted to only 6 per cent of Brexit’s winning margin. -
