I am really excited to announce the publication of my article in JESP:
“What Makes Nepotism Wrong?”
I examine three distinct objections to nepotism and consider how to delineate its permissibility in the context of selection for advantageous positions

Thanks to @Northeastern and all the organisers for hosting a fantastic conference on institutional failures! Missing the Summery weather already.

So is the establishment socialist or liberal? In either case, it’s not a very apt description of the Tory status quo and the last 14 years of stagnation and institutional corrosion…
Delighted to unveil the cover for the U.S. edition of my book out on April 16, Ten Years to Save the West: Leading the Revolution Against Globalism, Socialism, and the Liberal Establishment.

The greatest train robbery. Billions into private pockets for a service no one is asking for whilst local transport crumbles.
How can it cost over £100bn to build a railway line the 163 miles between London and Manchester? Are we getting solid platinum tracks connected by diamond-encrusted 24-carat gold sleepers or something?

Dear @BBCNews you have mistakenly added footage of ex Man City full back Pablo Zabaleta in your piece about Rubiales tonight. You need to make a correction immediately.

I’m sure another rail line connecting London to other relatively near cities is the answer.
NEW: we need to talk about the dire state of British transport infrastructure.
Of the 52 UK cities with 250k+ people, only 8 (15%) have a tram or metro.
In France & Germany it’s 80%, Poland is on 60%.
Even *American* cities are better served, and the US hates public transit!

The 2023 graduate conference in Political Theory @NuffieldCollege starts next Monday! We’ve put together an excellent programme for what should be a great event - register for the conference at eventbrite.com/e/2023-oxford…
This puts into words my own experience and of pursuing philosophy marginally later in life. I was simply unaware that people actually forged careers out of thinking about these sorts of questions.
"I discovered that philosophy was really the
name of a lot of discussions that I had been having when I was at school... I discovered that such discussions were actually the content of a subject. After that, I never looked back."
