We found people appreciated universities as local institutions that demonstrated global success (people were happy to have something that is leading the world).

However, there are also concerns that not all are benefiting. This is about working-class communties locked out or disrespected.

At the same time, a politics of community and belonging is waiting to be seized.

Labour is in part there with pride in place. As I say in the piece, there are signs in the polling and broader culture that this politics of place is a powerful political foundtion.

Fantastic piece by @jimbaggaley.bsky.social on Big John in the @newstatesman.com

“For Keir Starmer…to respond to the growing division and isolation, they must speak about these people, lend them their platform, and stand up for them: their decency, love of community, and country.”
Speak for England, Big John
In the face of racist attacks, the food influencer represents a form of patriotism that is modest and decent.
