Episode 05: Culture Wars, Class Politics and Democracy
In this episode we welcome our guest contributor Dr Joanna Williams, academic, author and journalist. Joanna is a columnist for Spiked and a regular contributor to the Times. Her most recent book is How Woke Won.
Joanna talks to Professor Michael Ben-Gad and Professor Ian Pace about the shift in UK politics from a focus on the concerns of ordinary working people, in favour of an identity politics that best suits the interests of the graduate elite. They also discuss the future of academic freedom in universities under a likely Labour government. Joanna discusses why she supports the Social Democratic Party and Ian considers how much it overlaps but also contrasts with David Owen’s 1980’s SDP. Finally, we turn to the EU elections. How much does immigration explain the growing support for right-wing political parties, particularly among the young?
