What is the Point of the Labour Party

Social Democracy without Foundations? David Marquand and the Historiography of the ‘Keynesian Welfare State
David Marquand was a historian. This article considers his historical writings of the 1970s to the 1990s and places them in dialogue with other historians who have written about similar themes. The article draws out connections and comparisons between Marquand's work and his peers/successors, but also assesses how far we might now want to modify Marquand's interpretation of twentieth century British political history. Particular attention is paid…
Poverty and the Labour Party
Barriers and enablers to promoting grandchildren’s physical activity and reducing screen time
Findings suggest that grandparents may benefit from resources that assist them to identify activities that are inexpensive and require minimal effort to organize. Activities that account for grandparents' age and health status, as well as any environmental barriers, are likely to be well-received

Bringing together urban systems and food systems theory and research is overdue
Urban dwellers’ food and nutritional wellbeing are both dependent on infrastructure and can be indicative of wider wellbeing in urban contexts and societal health. This paper focuses on the multiple relationships that exist between food and infrastructure to provide a thorough theoretical and empirical grounding to urgent work on urban food security and nutrition in the context of rapid urban and nutrition transitions in the South. We argue that …
Celtic Nationalisms and the Global Break-up of Britain
This response to Stuart Ward's Untied Kingdom examines his treatment of Scottish and Welsh nationalisms. This is a crucial part of the book because it is here that Ward completes his narrative arc, which depicts the loss of empire as a fundamentally destabilising force for the UK state and its basis in a shared British identity. So how should we think about the pressure that decolonisation places on British identity within Britain? While admiring…
Introduction
WHERE STANDS Scottish politics? It's a question with significant implications for next year's UK general election and for the dynamics of British politics thereafter. The departure of Nicola Sturgeon as Scotland's first minister earlier this year marks the end of a long and intense phase of constitutional drama. It also casts doubt on the durability of the SNP's electoral hegemony, one of the cardinal achievements of Sturgeon and her predecessor,…

Perceptions of a family-based lifestyle intervention for children with overweight and obesity
We identified several challenges that can impair lasting behavior change (e.g., physical activity participation) following involvement in a FBLI. On optimizing these programs, participants emphasized fun, interactive content, interpersonal support, appropriate educational content, and behavior change techniques. Concepts rooted in motivational theory could help address calls for greater theoretical and mechanistic insight in FBLIs. Findings may s…
Scottish Nationalism
From British Labourism to Scottish Nationalism
Jim Sillars made the political journey from Labour to Scottish nationalism decades before it became fashionable to do so.His transition from a Labour loyalist known as 'the hammer of the Nats' to a leading figure in the SNP is a long-standing folk tale of Scottish politics
To make a figure in the world
Using archival research on the correspondence of diplomat Thomas Robinson, 2nd Baron Grantham, this article examines how Grantham used his material knowledge of carriage design to negotiate the often‐conflicting pushes and pulls on elite office‐holding men's identities and material cultures. Grantham's anxieties and frustrations surrounding ‘making a figure’ showcase the importance of material culture and material literacy in the construction and…
Liberty After Neoliberalism
THE COVID pandemic has raised hard questions about liberty and the role of the state. Many Conservatives have been discomfited by the answers that their own government has given to these questions, resorting instead to a libertarian rhetoric to argue for a more permissive approach to public health regulation. As several commentators have pointed out, there is a marked asymmetry in this Conservative hostility to legal restrictions—broadly, new con…
Advancing our understanding of psychological flow
Research on psychological flow is well established, although criticisms remain regarding conceptual and measurement issues associated with the construct. This scoping review maps flow-related research across scientific disciplines, examining the conceptualization, measurement instruments, and outcomes of flow between 2012 and 2019. Across 236 sources that met the review criteria, 108 different flow-related constructs were measured by 141 instrume…
“A Quite Similar Enterprise … Interpreted Quite Differently”? James Buchanan, John Rawls and the Politics of the Social Contract
A striking aspect of the initial reception of John Rawls is that he was embraced by leading market-liberal theorists such as Friedrich Hayek and James Buchanan. This article investigates the reasons for the free-market right's sympathetic interest in the early Rawls by providing a historical account of the dialogue between Rawls and his key neoliberal interlocutor, James Buchanan. We set out the common intellectual context, notably the influence …
They deserve a treat’
Objective: Little is known about parents’ compensatory health beliefs (CHB) surrounding their children’s engagement in physical activity (PA). Our aim was to provide evidence regarding the nature of, and factors underpinning, parents’ PA-related compensatory beliefs for their children. Design: A qualitative descriptive approach and thematic content analysis were employed. Setting: Parents were recruited from community sport and PA programmes. Par…
Putting Neoliberalism in Its Place
Neoliberalism is an ideal subject for intellectual historians. It is an ideological movement that has been both theoretically sophisticated and influential, ensuring that excursions along the highways and byways of neoliberal thought can always be justified practically, as disclosing the ideas that have shaped contemporary politics. There is also no shortage of source material, as the voluble characters who generated neoliberal ideology wrote inn…
Impacts of land use on water quality and the viability of bivalve shellfish mariculture in the UK
This paper examines how land use affects water quality and how this impacts the viability of shellfish mariculture (marine aquaculture) in the UK through a synthesis of the current literature, stakeholder workshops and targeted engagement of cross-sector organisations across a case study in South West England. We examine the importance of water quality as a constraint for shellfish mariculture in South West England and explore how current and pro…
British Politics Beyond the End of History
Although Marxism as an organised force is a shadow of its Cold War heyday, we seem to live in a time when calling someone a Marxist can still inspire a strange political frisson. Whether it's the England football team protesting racial injustice or the Shadow Chancellor forswearing Capital, the charge of being a ‘Marxist’ has made a comeback as a political insult. And once again it is being brandished by partisans who have a shaky grasp of Marxis…
What We Have Learned About the Conservative Party
now is a good time to take stock of what the last few years have taught us about British conservatism. The UK’s departure from the EU prompted another bout of derision from trade experts and broadsheet political commentators about the Conservative Party’s lack of concern for the economic competence it once prized above all else. Yet the process has revealed important truths about conservatism that are more sobering for the party’s opponents than …
Titmuss in His Time
Getting Labour Together
What do the different wings of the Labour Party actually disagree about? Sometimes it seems like almost everything, in spite of the warm words about party unity offered by the various leadership contenders in recent weeks. But on closer investigation, the disagreement between left and right is less about policy—on which there is in fact some convergence about the broad direction of travel—and more about entitlement: which faction is the legitimat…
At the Origins of Neo-Liberalism
It is often suggested that the earliest theorists of neo-liberalism first entered public controversy in the 1930s and 1940s to dispel the illusion that the welfare state represented a stable middle way between capitalism and socialism. This article argues that this is an anachronistic account of the origins of neo-liberalism, since the earliest exponents of neo-liberal doctrine focused on socialist central planning rather than the welfare state a…
The Conceptual History of Social Justice
Social justice is a crucial ideal in contemporary political thought. Yet the concept of social justice is a recent addition to our political vocabulary, and comparatively little is known about its introduction into political debate or its early theoretical trajectory. Some important research has begun to address this issue, adding a valuable historical perspective to present-day controversies about the concept. This article uses this literature t…
Revisionism Reconsidered
Revisionist socialists of the 1950s and 1960s are typically depicted as advocates of the 'Keynesian welfare state' route to economic equality. This article argues that this is an oversimplification: while the revisionists supported the welfare state, they also aimed to promote equality by redistributing private property and expanding social ownership, endorsing an egalitarian version of a 'property-owning democracy'. The article first discusses t…
The Political Thought of Scottish Nationalism
This article examines the key arguments and intellectual influences that have come together over recent decades to produce the case for Scottish independence. In particular, the article draws attention to three crucial, but discordant, ideological themes that have become recurrent features of Scottish nationalist discourse: an analysis of the British state indebted to the New Left; a surprising enthusiasm for the politics of the British labour mo…
The Politics of the Labour Manifesto
at the outset of the 2017 election campaign, there seemed to be a good chance that the Labour party would be broken—possibly irreparably—on the anvil of nationalism. After all, that was why Theresa May had called the election. Enormous credit is therefore due to Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour left for running an excellent campaign that capitalised on the abject weaknesses of the Conservatives and ultimately saved Labour from what many people—includ…

Currents of Neo-Liberalism
This article investigates the emergence of neo-liberalism in Britain and its intellectual relationship with each of the three main British political ideologies. The article distinguishes between different currents of neo-liberalism that have been absorbed into British political thought, and shows that this process to some extent pre-dated the electoral success of Thatcherism in the 1980s. The article further suggests that labelling recent British…
Freedom, the Common Good, and the Rule of Law
This article examines the intellectual relationship between Friedrich Hayek and Walter Lippmann in the 1930s and 1940s, and argues that Lippmann's writings on economic planning were a neglected influence on the development of Hayek's political thought in this period. Lippmann's work provided a first approximation of arguments that Hayek would later make this own: that planning would destroy civil and political freedom; that a certain form of lega…
Charity Begins at Home”
Formal volunteering is an important economic and social activity. In many countries, prevalence of volunteering is decreasing overall, including among older people who constitute a major volunteering resource. This qualitative study explored reasons for non-volunteering among seniors, with a focus on those who attribute their non-volunteering to their existing helping commitments. Forty-nine Australian interviewees aged 60 + years described a ran…

Hayek, Keynes, and the Origins of Neo-Liberalism
In reply to the comment by Andrew Farrant and Edward McPhail on Ben Jackson's article ‘At the origins of neo-liberalism’, this communication briefly examines the development of the political thought of Friedrich Hayek in the 1940s. It argues that the chronology of Hayek's critical analysis of the ‘Keynesian welfare state’ is more complex than Farrant and McPhail suggest. Farrant and McPhail underestimate the extent to which neo-liberalism in the …

Equality of nothing? Social justice on the British Left, c.1911-31
This article examines debates about social justice on the British Left during the early twentieth century. Prevailing interpretations of these writings either position them within a simplistic dichotomy between equality of opportunity and equality of outcome, or else conclude that they lack the conceptual sophistication that characterizes later thinking about social justice. This article argues that these approaches are mistaken, and accords more…

The relationship between transformational teaching and adolescent physical activity
The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which transformational teaching, exhibited by secondary school physical education teachers, predicts within-class physical activity and leisure-time physical activity among adolescents. The study used a prospective observational design and involved data collected from 874 Grade 10 adolescents ( Mage = 15.41, ( SD) = .61). Through use of structural equation modeling, the results revealed that …
Lionel Robbins, by Susan Howson
Lionel Robbins (1898–1984) enjoyed a remarkable career in British public life. He moved rapidly from an early appointment as Economics Fellow at New College, Oxford, to a professorship at the LSE by the age of thirty-one. In the 1930s, he played a leading role in building one of the world’s best Economics departments at the LSE, while making a trenchant contribution to that decade’s robust public exchanges about economic policy. During the Second…
English Votes for English Laws
In wildest fantasy who could have foretold ten years ago that we were about to face a national referendum whether to stay in EEC or not on renegotiated terms which few people can understand any better than the original ones; a Cabinet that has had to agree to divide so that all can hold on to office, but which has already broadened the public disagreements into the whole field of basic economic policy; and, as if this were not enough, to have in …

Progressivism in British Politics
This article argues that a return to the history of progressive political thought can help us to think afresh about what a renewed centre‐left politics might look like today. The article identifies some significant aspects of this history that attracted little attention in earlier debates over the British progressive tradition—in particular, debates about social ownership, nationalism and distributism. This revisionist history of British progress…

Learning from New Labour
The twentieth anniversary of Labour's 1997 election victory passed without much comment last year—among other reasons, the hectic pace of political developments left little space for historical debate. But two revealing reflections on New Labour's legacy did surface towards the end of 2017. James Graham's play about the recent history of the Labour party, Labour of Love, debuted in London in late September and Gordon Brown's memoir, My Life, Our …

Citizen and Subject
Is there anything new to say about Clement Attlee? Over the years many biographers have succumbed to the manifest attractions of Attlee's career.
The Politics of Human Rights
This issue of Political Quarterly commemorates the seventieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is a timely subject, not only because of the anniversary, but also because the status of human rights has become a contested issue in British politics. Only a few years ago, the protection of human rights seemed to be a relatively uncontentious political objective, a consensual expression of the liberal values that were presu…
Whatever Happened to the Conservative Party
it has been widely observed that something has gone awry with the Conservative party. Where once its watchwords were pragmatism and economic competence, solicitous commentators now point out that the party is dominated by a fixation with leaving the EU that has, at best, only a nodding acquaintance with the realities of modern capitalism. But the idea that the Conservatives recently took a wrong turn relies on a rather fuzzy historical contrast b…
