Out September 9th and available to pre-order in good bookshops, which is where I hope you’ll buy it from. @stanleysbill.bsky.social and I explain why PiS’s illiberal revolution happened, what happened, why it failed, in what ways it didn’t fail, and why it might return.

Really happy to see my work with @dweisstanner.bsky.social published with @bjpols.bsky.social. In this letter, we look at symbolic class signalling through cultural consumption and how effective it is across voters of different parties.

Why we need to halt β€˜hard right’ in its tracks Far-right parties are doing well – so it’s important that we see them for what they are. Yet, in the UK, the label β€˜hard right’ is catching on. Why is debateable. But, argues Tim Bale, it’s a misdescription which sanitises these parties. Scholars of the far right should therefore push back

In Europe just as in Trump's America, the creeping criminalisation of migration and solidarity An obsession with security is increasingly putting both migrants and human-rights defenders on the wrong side of the law. The trend is the same in both the USA and Europe.

This is an excellent article on the depressing similarities between EU and U.S. (anti-)immigration policies and practices.

I gave some comments for it.
