Raghib Ali: Systemic classism, not racism. Why the main factor in health and educational inequalities is deprivation, not race.

There is now no overall ‘white privilege’ in health or education or overall ‘BAME disadvantage’. These categories are outdated and unhelpful.

By Dr Raghib Ali | 21 July 2020 | 15 comments

Neil O’Brien: No, more economic prosperity doesn’t depend on more social liberalism

I hesitate to disagree with Daniel Finkelstein, but city growth has been powered more by smalltown commuters than flat-cap wearing uber-boheminans.

Neil O’Brien: R & D. We invest disproportionately in the first at the expense of the second. Here’s how to improve.

By Neil O Brien MP | 13 January 2020 | 25 comments

Neil O’Brien: Stormzy, “niggas”, “bitches” – and scholarships. Do we really want to fund racial groups?

Collecting statistics on people’s self-identified racial background is one thing.  Having ringfenced funding for one racial group is quite another.

By Neil O Brien MP | 7 January 2020 | 33 comments

Neil O’Brien: Policies for a new Britain – in which the central point for new Tory MPs is the moors on the edge of Sheffield

By Ryan Bourne | 18 September 2019 | 9 comments
