The United Kingdom general election takes place on July 4th. "All the things in the UK are now being seen as terrible," Professor Steven Fielding told me. He is an expert in British politics and modern political history and is currently writing a book analyzing the Labour Party since the 1970s. So is this going to be an electoral wipeout for the ruling Conservative Party? What kind of role is Nigel Farage and his Reform UK party playing and what to expect from the Labour Party if they get a chance to govern? Listen to our conversation.

Jim Tomlinson, Professor of Economic and Social History at the University of Glasgow, speaks to co-hosts Steven Fielding and Laura Beers about the Labour Party's relationship with the economy. Why, even when it is steaming ahead in the polls, does the party always seem to be, to an extent, mistrusted on such a crucial electoral issue? Is this perception true, and what can be done about it?

This podcast was recorded two days before Queen Elizabeth II. passed away, that's why it's not mentioned. The death of the Monarch might have real political consequences for the United Kingdom, but it doesn't change the fact that a new Conservative PM Liz Truss will face many challenges. Is she up to the job? Is Boris Johnson already plotting a comeback? I talked to Steven Fielding, a Professor of Political History at Nottingham University. Listen to our conversation.

Liz Truss has been elected as the Conservative Party's new leader, the party announced Monday, and she will take office Tuesday as Britain's new prime minister to steer the country through an acute cost-of-living crisis. The 47-year-old Truss, who is currently foreign secretary, beat former Treasury chief Rishi Sunak after a leadership contest in which only about 170,000 dues-paying members of the Conservative Party were allowed to vote. Truss received 81,326 votes, compared with Sunak's 60,399. She faces immediate pressure to deliver on her promises to tackle the cost-of-living crisis walloping the U.K. and an economy heading into a potentially lengthy recession. Queen Elizabeth II is scheduled to formally appoint Truss as Britain's prime minister on Tuesday. The ceremony will take place at the queen's Balmoral estate in Scotland, where the monarch is spending her summer, rather than Buckingham Palace in London. The two-month leadership contest left Britain with a power vacuum at a time of growing discontent across the country amid spiraling energy and food costs. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has made no major policy decisions since he announced he was stepping down on July 7, and officials insisted that measures to address the energy cost crisis would be deferred until his successor is in place. Meanwhile tens of thousands of workers have gone on strike to demand better pay to keep up with relentlessly rising costs. Inflation is above 10% for the first time since the 1980s, and the Bank of England has forecast that will reach a 42-year high of 13.3% in October. That's largely driven by soaring energy bills, which will jump 80% for the average household starting next month. "I will deliver a bold plan to cut taxes and grow our economy. I will deliver on the energy crisis, dealing with people's energy bills, but also dealing with the long term issues we have on energy supply," Truss told party members after she was elected. "I know that our beliefs resonate with the British people: Our beliefs in freedom, in the ability to control your own life, in low taxes, in personal responsibility," she added. "I know that's why people voted for us in such numbers in 2019 and as your party leader I intend to deliver what we promised those voters right across our great country." Truss has won the support of many Conservatives with her zeal in rolling back state intervention and slashing taxes. Both she and her rival Sunak have spoken of their admiration for Margaret Thatcher, who was prime minister from 1979 to 1990, and her free-market, small-government economics. But it's not clear how Truss's right-wing brand of conservatism, which played so well with party members — who represent far less than 1% of the U.K.'s adult population — will go down with the wider British public, especially those most in need of government relief to afford essentials like heating their homes this winter. Truss has promised to act "immediately" to tackle soaring energy bills, but declined to give any details so far. "The Conservative Party members wanted that message of tax cutting. The country, I would guess, less so," said Bronwen Maddox, director of London's Chatham House think tank. "At the moment you've got people deeply rattled, many very, very afraid going into a year where all they can see are rising costs," Maddox added. "Until she's got an answer on that, she doesn't have a claim to the popularity of the country, I think." While the economy is certain to dominate the first months of the new premier's term, Truss will also have to steer the U.K. on the international stage in the face of Russia's war in Ukraine, an increasingly assertive China and ongoing tensions with the European Union over the aftermath of Brexit — especially in Northern Ireland. Truss will be the U.K.'s fourth Conservative prime minister in six years, entering Downing Street following Johnson, Theresa May and David Cameron. Johnson was forced to resign after a series of ethics scandals that peaked in July, when dozens of cabinet ministers and lower-level officials quit in protest over his handling of allegations of sexual misconduct by a senior member of his government. Both Truss and Sunak were key players within Johnson's Cabinet, though Sunak resigned in the last days of Johnson's time in office. A Truss government may not sit well with many because it reminds voters too much of Johnson's misdeeds, said Steven Fielding, a professor of political history at Nottingham University. "She's basically been elected as Boris Johnson 2.0 by Conservative members — she's made it very clear that she is a loyal Boris Johnson supporter," he said. "I think she's going to find it very difficult to disentangle herself from the whole Johnson shadow." Truss and Sunak were the final two candidates whittled down from an initial field of 11 leadership hopefuls. Under Britain's parliamentary system of government, the center-right Conservative Party was allowed to hold an internal election to select a new party leader and prime minister without going to the wider electorate. A new general election isn't required until December 2024. - By SYLVIA HUI and DANICA KIRKA Associated PressSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Episode 90 I welcome Steven Fielding, who I call the Talisman for Change. I first heard Steven's incredible story and journey in change on Erick Godsey's Podcast - The Myths That Make Us. I felt a resonance right away and knew I wanted to reach out to not only meet him, but also have him on as a guest on my podcast. Together we talk about archetypes of manhood, men's work, healing and hope for the world in times such as these. This conversation was recorded in a space that Steven is creating and curating to host retreats and workshops to re-connect and re-member who we are as men, as myth makers and marauders of the soul. I guess grief is like fissures. They are like cuts in the earth to allow the pressure to release on this journey everward. Learn more about Steven on IG at @steven.fielding or @stonewitchtalisman_

Cette semaine se déroulait dans la ville balnéaire de Brighton en Angleterre, le Congrès annuel du parti travailliste. Un parti miné par des querelles internes, qui a subi des revers électoraux historiques ces dernières années, notamment en 2019 sous la direction du très à gauche Jeremy Corbyn. Depuis, le parti a à sa tête un chef de file plutôt méconnu du grand public : Keir Starmer, qui a profité de la grande messe du Labour pour s'affirmer et tracer sa ligne politique, en vue des prochaines élections de 2024. Il est notre Européen de la semaine, un portrait signé Carlotta Morteo. Se démarquer du Premier ministre Boris Johnson, voilà l'un des premiers actes de Keir Starmer. Dans son discours d'une heure et demie, le leader d'opposition sort enfin de l'ombre. Jugé austère, peu charismatique et inaudible face à un gouvernement conservateur pourtant très à la peine, Keir Starmer a bien fait, selon Steven Fielding, chercheur politologue à l'Université de Nottingham, de mettre en lumière son parcours personnel. « Beaucoup de gens au Royaume-Uni ne savent pas vraiment qui est Sir Keir Starmer, ils ont même l'impression qu'il est "bon chic bon genre" puisqu'il est avocat et qu'il a reçu le titre de "chevalier". Mais en fait, ils ne savent pas qu'il vient d'un milieu modeste, que son père était ouvrier d'usine et sa mère infirmière, et c'est important qu'il ait mis en avant ces détails biographiques parce que ça permet à ceux qui votaient historiquement pour le parti travailliste (les classes populaires) de s'associer à lui, alors qu'ils s'étaient détournés du Labour aux élections de 2019. » À la tête d'un parti qui s'entredéchire sur l'héritage de son prédécesseur, Jérémy Corbyn, Keir Starmer s'est surtout employé depuis un an et demi à mettre fin aux scandales d'antisémitisme qui ont secoué le parti en interne, et sérieusement écorné son image. Benedict Rickey, militant très actif du Labour avait d'ailleurs fini par prendre ses distances avec les travaillistes ces dernières années. « Il essaye de faire le ménage des éléments les plus problématiques, antisémites, liés à Corbyn... et en même temps, il ne peut pas se mettre tout le mouvement Momentum à dos. » Momentum, c'est ce mouvement très à gauche, inspiré par la campagne de Bernie Sanders aux États-Unis, qui s'est constitué en 2015 autour de Jeremy Corbyn et qui a attiré des dizaines de milliers de nouveaux adhérents : des électeurs plus jeunes, urbains, issus de la diversité et pro-européens. Keir Starmer a résolument mis la barre au centre. Travail, famille, sécurité, il n'a pas hésité à s'approprier des thèmes plutôt de droite, qui avaient marché pour Tony Blair en son temps. Une mise à distance claire et nette avec l'aile gauche, qui n'a en rien été convaincue par la première grande allocution publique de Keir Starmer... Sonali Battasharrya est secrétaire nationale de Momentum. « Le discours a identifié beaucoup de problèmes que nous connaissons déjà, mais il n'a proposé aucune solution claire pour les résoudre. On n'a pas besoin de mieux connaître M. Keir Starmer, mais de proposer un programme face aux conservateurs, pour s'attaquer aux grandes inégalités sociales. Si Keir Starmer ne nous entend pas, on va construire un leadership depuis la base. On ne va pas attendre sa permission pour fédérer du soutien dans le pays. On n'a pas de temps à perdre. » D'ici à la prochaine élection générale au printemps 2023, Keir Starmer va devoir réconcilier le plus grand parti d'Europe et remobiliser ses électeurs, pour espérer remettre le Labour aux affaires.

This is not a book about Sir Winston Churchill. It is not principally about his politics, nor his rhetorical imagination, nor even about the man himself. Instead, it addresses the varied afterlives of the man and the persistent, deeply located compulsion to bring him back from the dead, capturing and explaining the significance of the various Churchill myths to Britain's history and current politics. In The Churchill Myths (Oxford UP, 2020), by Richard Toye, Steven Fielding and Bill Schwarz, the authors look at Churchill's portrayal in social memory. They demonstrate the ways in which politicians have often used the idea of Churchill as a means of self-validation - using him to show themselves as tough and honest players. They show the man dramatized in film and television - an onscreen persona that is often the product of a gratuitous mixing of fact and fantasy, one deliberately shaped to meet the preferences of the presumed audience. They discuss his legacy in light of the Brexit debate - showing how public figures on both sides of the Leave/Remain debate were able to use elements of Churchill's words and character to argue for their own point-of-view. Au fond, this is not simply a work of history, but something more in terms of its thesis and point of view. And while one might not agree with the three authors entirely, that cannot gainsay the intellectual adventure involved in reading this most interesting of books. Charles Coutinho Ph. D. of the Royal Historical Society, received his doctorate from New York University. His area of specialization is 19th and 20th-century European, American diplomatic and political history.

In this special edition of Prosperity Marxism, Peter Bratsis speaks with Steven Fielding about the recent election of Boris Johnson. The post Prosperity Marxism – Episode 3: UK Election Analysis appeared first on Institute for the Radical Imagination.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson headed for the United Nations in New York on Sunday to argue that post-Brexit Britain will be a dynamic world power taking the lead on tackling climate change and an unstable Middle East. But he and his country face some big hurdles.He is struggling to strike a withdrawal agreement with a skeptical European Union, and a looming verdict from Britain's Supreme Court could derail his Brexit plans.Johnson is likely to be dogged by Brexit throughout his three-day trip to the General Assembly, the U.N.'s annual gathering of world leaders.More than three years after Britain voted to leave the EU, the departure date has been postponed twice, and the U.K. Parliament has repeatedly rejected the only divorce deal offered. The country is facing a chaotic exit on Oct. 31 unless Johnson's government can, against the odds, secure a new agreement.In search of a deal, Johnson is scheduled to hold talks at the U.N. with EU leaders, including European Council President Donald Tusk, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar.But many leaders of the 28-nation bloc mistrust Johnson, a brash Brexit champion who played a big role in persuading British voters in 2016 to opt to leave the EU. And they say Britain has not come up with workable ways to maintain an open border between EU member Ireland and the U.K.'s Northern Ireland — the key sticking point in the dispute.A senior British government spokesman said talks with the EU so far have been positive, but "there is an awful lot of work still to do.""What is obviously encouraging is that all sides do want to try and achieve a deal," he said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the government's thinking.European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said a no-deal Brexit "would have catastrophic consequences," including customs posts and other barriers between Ireland and Northern Ireland. But he said it would be Britain's fault."We did not invent the Brexit," Juncker told Sky News in an interview broadcast Sunday. "We were never pleading in favor of any kind of Brexit. That's a British decision, and so it has to be dealt with in that way."Johnson also has a meeting scheduled with President Donald Trump, who has called the British leader "a really good man" and claimed that some refer to Johnson as "Britain Trump."There are similarities: the distinctive hair, the use of populist people-versus-elites rhetoric. However, the two leaders differ significantly on climate change. Trump pulled the U.S. out of an international climate accord, while Johnson is committed to slashing carbon emissions and will extol Britain as a leader in clean energy during a U.N. Climate Action Summit on Monday.Johnson is keen to keep on the good side of the mercurial president, since a future free trade deal with the United States is seen by the government as one of the main prizes of Brexit.At home, Johnson is bracing for a Supreme Court ruling on whether he broke the law when he suspended Parliament for five weeks ahead of the Oct. 31 Brexit deadline.Johnson says the suspension was a routine measure to prepare for a new session of Parliament. Opponents claim he acted illegally to stop lawmakers from interfering with his plan to leave the EU, with or without a Brexit deal.The 11 justices could rule as early as Monday. A ruling that the suspension was illegal would be a huge blow to Johnson's authority and could see lawmakers recalled to Parliament immediately.The turbulent backdrop means Johnson may struggle to gain attention at the U.N. when he announces new programs to fight climate change and preserve biodiversity, tells a business audience in New York that "post-Brexit Britain will be a better place to invest in and live in," or discusses "British values" in a speech to the General Assembly on Tuesday.Steven Fielding, a political historian at the University of Nottingham, said Johnson's nationali...
With Britain's departure from the European Union due in less than 100 days, new Prime Minister Boris Johnson is a man in a hurry. But he's not rushing off to Brussels.The U.K. leader has no meetings scheduled with EU officials. Instead, he was in central England on Friday, talking about his promise to recruit 20,000 more police officers. In the coming days he'll speak on other aspects of a packed domestic agenda that looks suspiciously like an election platform.Britain's next scheduled election is three years away, but signs suggest Johnson may be preparing for a snap poll within weeks or months to break the Brexit impasse that defeated his predecessor, Theresa May. She resigned after failing, three times, to get Parliament's backing for her divorce deal with the EU.Johnson won a contest to replace her as Conservative leader and prime minister by promising that the U.K. will leave the 28-nation bloc on the scheduled date of Oct. 31, with or without a divorce deal.But Tim Durrant, senior researcher at the Institute for Government, an independent think-tank, said Johnson "has exactly the same parliamentary arithmetic to deal with as May" — no overall House of Commons majority and a set of lawmakers who so far have rejected all attempts to leave the EU either with or without a divorce deal."He is clearly positioning himself as the person to get Brexit done, and the way to change the parliamentary arithmetic is to have an election," Durrant said.Asked Friday if he would rule out calling an election, Johnson said: "Absolutely." But his predecessor, Theresa May, also insisted she would not hold a snap election — and then did, in 2017.In the House of Commons on Thursday, Johnson said Britons had had multiple chances to vote recently, with two elections and an EU membership referendum in the past four years."The people of this country have voted in 2015, 2016 and 2017, and what they want to see is this Parliament delivering on the mandate that they gave us" to leave the EU, he said.Laying out his priorities in his first Commons statement as prime minister, Johnson said he wanted Britain to leave the EU with a deal. But he also insisted the EU make major changes to May's spurned withdrawal agreement, including scrapping an insurance policy for the Irish border that has been rejected by U.K. lawmakers.The EU, which has long said it will not change the agreement, called Johnson's stance combative and unhelpful.Irish Deputy Prime Minister Simon Coveney said Friday that Johnson was putting himself on a "collision course" with the bloc."The approach that the British prime minister seems to now be taking is not going to be the basis of an agreement," he said. "And that's worrying for everybody."From a Brexit negotiating perspective, it was a very bad day yesterday."From a British political perspective, however, there's a logic to Johnson's moves. University of Nottingham politics professor Steven Fielding said the prime minister was preparing to blame Brussels if the Brexit talks fail and Britain faces a disruptive no-deal exit."The most likely scenario is Boris goes off to Brussels, Brussels says no, Boris says 'Brussels is dictating to us . We want to do a deal but they won't let us do a deal,'" Fielding said. "Ramping all of that up and then saying, 'Come and support me on the road to our glorious Brexit' — and call an election."Fielding said "it makes more sense for him to go to the country before Brexit than after" because of the potential upheaval that could follow a no-deal exit.Economists warn that leaving the bloc without an agreement on terms would disrupt trade by imposing tariffs and customs checks between Britain and the bloc.

This week on Builder Funnel Radio, Spencer is back with special guest, Steven Fielding. They tackle the tough question: “why is marketing important?” How has marketing changed over time? And more specifically, how does inbound marketing factor into the evolution of marketing as a whole? After chatting about marketing and its early adoption of the ‘Four P’s’ (Product, Price, Placement, and Promotion), our hosts dive into the importance of research. Researching your potential customers provides you with crucial information on their needs, wants, and problems. It may even help you design or formulate a new product or service. The key is to pay attention to your potential buyer and act accordingly!

To understand contemporary politics we must understand how it is represented in fiction. This is the main argument in A State of Play: British Politics on Screen, Stage and Page, from Anthony Trollope to The Thick of It (Bloomsbury Academic, 2014) a new book by Steven Fielding, Professor of Politics at the University of Nottingham. The book explores how British politics has been represented in fiction from the late Victorian era through to the present. The book identifies a fascinating set of core themes, including how the political class has been defended and attacked, how the idea of populism has developed over time, along with the changing role of women in British political fiction. A State of Play does not over-claim, stressing that although an understanding of fiction is essential to understanding politics, we still don’t know the exact relationship between people’s political participation and political fiction. However, it does make a convincing case that any understanding of the British political system will be insufficient without understanding how it has been imagined and depicted. Indeed, as later chapters show, the mode of depiction itself has become an important territory for explaining British political culture. The book contains a huge range of examples, from the more well known television series, such as Yes, Minister and The Thick of It, through to obscure and perhaps forgotten books such asThe Mistress of Downing Street. Overall it will be of interest to academics and the public alike. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
