Here are some thoughts on the new Court of Appeal Palestine Action ruling, written with @alangreene.bsky.social and @colinmurray.bsky.social for @verfassungsblog.de verfassungsblog.de/palestine-ac...

Andy Burnham has argued for public control of water and energy, but what kind of public ownership can meet the challenges of environment and climate breakdown? In a blog for the @ukcla.bsky.social, I explore a case study of Labour's post-war nationalisation of electricity. [1/3]

While the writing/editing are not always conducive to get the point across as clearly as it could, I think this is a very important contribution by Tanzil Chowdhury, as it identifies from within a historical materialist approach the 'blind spot' in political constitutionalist accounts on the left

Extremely interesting criticallegalthinking.com/2026/05/29/l...

Today, @bentarnoff.com and @quinnslobodian.com consider whether "Muskism" could serve as a possible successor to post-Fordism. How should we understand Muskism's distinctive regime of accumulation, and what kind of social contract does it propose to stabilize its disruptive effects?
