Happy St George’s Day 🏴. It’s time to tell more positive stories of England. If progressives don’t try to define an inclusive sense of English identity, then we leave it to the far right to determine who does and doesn’t belong - and that could hardly be more dangerous #AnotherEngland
Looking forward to chatting about my book #AnotherEngland at the forthcoming Folkestone book festival - exploring issues of national identity, meaning & belonging feels more important than ever👇
This is a thoughtful book with insight and leadership, rather than posturing, about what it means and could mean to be English. Do read ⬇️ #AnotherEngland
Happy St George's Day! This should be a day everyone in England can celebrate together, whatever our backgrounds & whether born here or not. All too often Englishness is hijacked by the Right. My recent book, #AnotherEngland, is my attempt to start to try to take it back🏴
Very lovely to be rubbing shoulders with so many amazing authors in @theguardian.com Best Paperbacks of the Month 🙂. #AnotherEngland is available here: www.penguin.co.uk/books/453710...
Many thanks to all at Penguin for marking paperback publication day for #AnotherEngland today! penguin.co.uk/books/453710/a
Labour under Attlee, with far greater economic challenges than today, had boldness, vision & a compelling story. Starmer’s Labour fails on all 3 counts, which amounts to laying out a welcome mat to Farage.
On eve of publication of #AnotherEngland in paperback, I write for @prospectmagazine.co.uk👇
It’s real!
Excited that the paperback of #AnotherEngland is out on 20 Feb - with a new chapter on how the Labour Govt needs to offer meaningful change & tell a far more inspiring, compelling story, if it’s to see off the threat posed by the increasingly populist Right penguin.co.uk/books/453710/a…
Delighted that the paperback of #AnotherEngland is out on 20 Feb - with a new chapter on how the Labour Govt needs to tell a bolder, more compelling story of who we are & how the future could be, if it’s to see off the threat posed by the increasingly populist Right penguin.co.uk/books/453710/a…
'Like Frankenstein desperately trying to pacify his monster by creating for it a mate' - @carolinelucas.bsky.social on net zero, as she looks at green politics and radical English identity through her literary lens. Loving #AnotherEngland - had no idea it would be such a useful literary source.
