A Green New Deal for South Yorkshire – interview with Lewis Dagnall
It looks like we’re trapped in another Conservative Party psychodrama for the next three years, but local and regional elected office has become a strategic battleground for the Labour Party. Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham was hailed as 'King in the North' for his stance on Covid-19 restrictions in the autumn and winter of 2020, with some even suggesting he should take over as party leader off the back of his performance. Regional mayoralities may be a place where Labour can show that it is ready to lead the country once again. Fast forward to 2022 and a n...

Episode 26: Joe Glenton on 'Veteranhood' (Live December 2021)
This episode is something a little different, a recording of a live event we held with in Liverpool in December 2021 with Joe Glenton (@joejglenton), discussing his recent book Veteranhood: Rage and Hope in British Ex-Military Life, published by Repeater. You can buy the book directly from Repeater here: https://repeaterbooks.com/product/veteranhood-rage-and-hope-in-british-ex-military-life/ Veteranhood is a fantastic book; poignant, witty and angry, as well as highly readable. We wanted this event to be as open as possible, with a couple of readings from Joe and questions from ourselves, but mainly letting the conversation run through the audience.

War and Memory: Culture (SE3 EP6)
In the final installment of our series on war and memory, Joe speaks with Essex University historian Lucy Noakes and Chicago-based artist Michael Rakowitz on the creation of cultural memories around armed conflict. They cover a wide array of topics, including the Churchillian turn of British World War II narratives and how the words monument and demonstrate are linked by their roots in Latin. Their discussion beautifully encapsulates a number of topics covered across the series and explores more radical ways of remembering - or remembering better. Lucy Noakes is a social and cultural historian...

Why I Deserted the Army: Dissident Joe Glenton on the Futility of the Afghan War and “War on Terror”
The world’s news feeds have been inundated this week with a deluge of images of the extremely hasty American retreat from Afghanistan. After militarily occupying the country for two decades and spending an estimated $2 trillion, the American-backed Afghan government lasted barely a week without U.S. troops backing it up. President Ashraf Ghani almost immediately fled to nearboring Tajikistan, reportedly taking hundreds of millions of dollars in stolen cash with him.The scenes of desperate Afghans crowding into the last American planes have made this week an extremely embarrassing one for the U.S. and its al...

This week, Nate speaks with British Army veteran and journalist Joe Glenton (@joejglenton) about his recent piece in the Independent, on the topic of paratroopers shooting at a picture of Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn. The conversation also touches on reactionary sentiments in the British Army, the UK’s history of veteran activism, and the strange ways in which people convince themselves to forget the truth about empire.
