The death of political theorist and Gramsci scholar Peter Thomas, last week, was a terrible and entirely unexpected tragedy. A fund has been set up to support his family and establish a prize in his name. Please contribute if you can: www.goodhub.com/go/collectiv...

CPP with F&G live! That’s me with @jemgilbert.bsky.social podcasting ‘live from London’. This time the theme is ‘everything’.

I’m spending part of my post-PhD time learning more about British politics, so this was very informative. You can also see some relevant book suggestions. I was looking for books to read about British politics and it's hard to know where to begin.

A very good piece of reporting. What it makes clear is the yawning gap that is already opening up between Burnham's stated ambitions and the political capacity of the teams he has put in place to help him actually realise them. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

famously the only options in public procurement are rule of law or mob rule. if we had bowed to mob rule with HS2, it might have reached dangerously close to Leeds.

Edmund Burke lives: www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Just imagine if the UK had some sort of national broadcaster that had a duty to act in the public interest.

Jem’s ability to just chat us through 100+ years of class realignments, the necessary conditions for founding the NHS, and the structural possibilities for radical change from the left today is genuinely amazing.

@jemgilbert.bsky.social highly relevant illustration of the contested nature of expertise

1/5 Great conversation between @jemgilbert.bsky.social and @profafinlayson.bsky.social, because it doesn't only tell you why Burnham's speech was good but also how it could have been better. It's amazing to see how much can be drawn out of a speech.+ culturepowerpolitics.org/2026/10/01/a...

Emergency podcast! A New Hope? On Burnham's first conference as Prime Minister and Labour leader: culturepowerpolitics.org/2026/10/01/a....

Burnham gave the speech that I'd been calling for for nearly a decade....does that mean anything? Idk, but it's interesting: thisconjuncture.substack.com/p/forty-year...

An #ACFM reading session special. Join Nadia Idle, @jemgilbert.bsky.social, and I as we read and discuss Guy Debord’s classic Situationist text Society of the Spectacle. novaramedia.com/2026/09/27/a...

Really enjoyed this and the CPP podcast on expertise with Alan F and @jemgilbert.bsky.social When I started my PhD, the project was initially on the concept of the intellectual through the lens of Foucault and Gramsci with Sartre's own dual concept somewhere in between. culturepowerpolitics.org

Like it or not, this has got to be one of the biggest stories of the century in terms of our culture's relationship to capitalism: www.theguardian.com/football/202.... Expecting at least 10 hours on this from @prorevsoccer.bsky.social. Suggest subscribing now.

ICYMI - @jemgilbert.bsky.social on the Oasis reunion... "Oasis were part of a broad social and cultural project in the late 1990s of foreclosing the possibility of more radical and progressive developments - both in music and in politics."

Excellent piece by Kristen Kobes Du Mez on the reactionary evangelical pop culture of Christian women that most urban sophisticates are unaware of. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/01/o...

An entirely vacuous speech from Healey, revealing a complete lack of any vision of a possible future that would be at all different from or better than the late 20th Century.

I agree with all that

I'm one of the cool kids. How can you tell? Cos over the bank holiday weekend I listened to 4 hours of podcasts about Neoliberalism. Click the link if you wanna be as cool as me.

Burnham says he'll reverse Thatcher's legacy. But will this mark a true restoration of social democracy, or will we just be living in the world that moderate Tories wanted in the 1980s? Listen here or search for 'Culture, Power, Politics' in any app. culturepowerpolitics.org/2026/08/28/n...

Really appreciate this long-weekend long listen from @profafinlayson.bsky.social @jemgilbert.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/c...

A very informative discussion and exploration of an idea, presented by two experts in political and cultural theory. I listened to the first episode while cleaning the flat today and I look forward to listening to the rest.

What is neoliberalism and what would it mean to end it? @profafinlayson.bsky.social and I combine the history-of-ideas approach and the political sociology approach to these questions, over 4 episodes. Here or search Culture, Power, Politics in any app. culturepowerpolitics.org/podcast-epis...

You've had Culture (see link below), now it's time for Power and Politics. @jemgilbert.bsky.social - together with fan favourite (official title) @profafinlayson.bsky.social - has released four podcast episodes on Neoliberalism: What it is and how to end it. culturepowerpolitics.org/2026/08/28/n...

@jemgilbert.bsky.social Big up for the pod with David Wilkinson on CPP this week. So much covered on nostalgia, working class weird and particularly autodidactism...That last one has opened up a new strand for my PhD proposal for sure. Brilliant conversation... in a range of accents!!!

You know you've got the right networks when two people send you @jemgilbert.bsky.social and David Wilkinson on The Fall in a 12-hour period

Affect and Conjuncture - Free online seminar with Lawrence Grossberg September 19th, 17:00-19:00 BST. culturepowerpolitics.org/from-marx-to...

Culture, Power, Politics' latest episode "Working Class Weird" is a crosspost from another @jemgilbert.bsky.social project the excellent "Love is the Message" music podcast. In it he talks to David Wilkinson about the Fall, post-punk and politics. Well worth a listen. www.patreon.com/culturepower...

Here is Dolly singing her anthem for the common www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXsc...

We’re not in the habit of recognizing celebrity deaths here at 925. That said, Dolly Parton is a national treasure and some folks here joke that Dolly is our Locals patron saint. After all her song “9 to 5” is our anthem. Today we remember all the love and kindness Dolly brought the world.

Finally got to this and it's hard not reach for your pitchfork hearing Alan Finlayson and @jemgilbert.bsky.social lay out clearly the devastation of the potential for human flourishing that's happening in higher education right now culturepowerpolitics.org/2026/07/21/u...

Indeed. O’Reilly is not a sociologist but we do have a near perfect control group and the answer to “what if he weren’t black?” is visibly “would get reported by the student paper and the FT”.

This is great. For instance, conjunctural analysis, what differentiates Stuart Hall's analysis of authoritarian populism from the current understanding of authoritarian populism in political science. Therefore, it's not just about methodology; it's about how to gain knowledge about politics in a+

Hey @theguardian.com feel free to devote a few headlines to the total crisis afflicting literally most of the HE sector and the government’s complete abdication of responsibility for it. Or just keep going on about one guy at one place who might or might not have been over-promoted; whatever…

The Fall! Mark E. Smith! Brexit! Post-Punk! Raymond Williams! It's all here in this fantastic interview with David Wilkinson: www.loveisthemessagepod.co.uk/latest-episo... (or search for Love is the Message in any podcast app)

Really useful development of the Stuart hall episodes looking at emergence of black theory in the uk. Also loved that one of the male academics had to leave to pick up a kid near the end, feels like a real positive development, thanks @jemgilbert.bsky.social yet again: share.google/HavG0SAUriQl...

If only the lads had been in a position where they could’ve resisted the most intense all-channels McCarthyist crackdowns of my lifetime, or at very least said “Uh lads, are be absolutely sure that telling the public that the antiracist, anti-austerity movements are Nazis is smart and good”.

I literally paid a liberal I'm in a WhatsApp group with to listen to this
