In 2017 he became director of the think-tank Labour Together, which was instrumental in installing Starmer as Jeremy Corbyn’s replacement. After running Starmer’s leadership campaign – amid grumbles from the Left that he and Starmer tricked the membership into thinking they would retain elements of the Corbyn platform – McSweeney …

Seventy-five years after the publication of Nineteen Eighty-Four, it has become commonplace to describe worrying political and technological developments as “Orwellian”.

There can be little doubt that neoliberalism has undermined, if not crippled, the notion of higher education as a democratic public sphere — a protective and courageous space where students can speak, write and act from a position of agency and informed judgment. These have no place in our corporate-indentured universities.” In the spirit of ruthless equity firms and asset-stripping …
