One rule for MPs, one rule for ordinary people”
To date, an estimated 14.4 million people in Britain live in poverty - a situation exacerbated by the current cost-of-living crisis. This has caused moral panics about who should and should not have access to public money to increase again. By returning to a case study of the 2009 UK Parliamentary Expenses Scandal, this article shows how politicians use class-based ways of speaking to sidestep financial and moral transgressions. Discursive social…
Exploring economic inequality with critical qualitative approaches in psychology
This editorial introduces our special issue showcasing how qualitative research methods can be used in psychological research to explore economic inequality. Economic and class-based inequalities are global problems that have a negative impact on people’s well-being. The papers within the special issue demonstrate how differing methodological approaches such as discursive psychology, thematic analysis, and interpretative phenomenological analysis…
How is “wokeness” constructed in newspaper articles about British heritage institutions move to be more diverse
Which would be more democratic? Allowing them the opportunity to change their mind or pressing on regardless
Parliamentary debates are beneficial political environments to study using discourse analysis and discursive psychology. However, there is limited discursive psychological research analysing arguments for and against the possibility of a second referendum concerning the UK’s EU membership status. We collected our data by transcribing a parliamentary debate where politicians discussed a second referendum and analysed it using a discursive psycholo…
Accountability in the Russo-Ukrainian war
This article showcases a discursive peace psychological analysis of Putin’s declaration of war and North Atlantic Treaty Organizations (NATO’s) subsequent response to it. By treating psychological categories as action-bound and occasioned, rather than cognitive features residing inside the minds of individuals, the analysis shows three rhetorical strategies used by Putin and NATO to manage their accountability in the context of initiating hostili…
Rhetoric of derisive laughter in political debates on the EU
This paper focuses on the argumentative role of derisive laughter in broadcast political debates. Using Discursive Psychology (DP) we analyse how politicians use derisive laughter as an argumentative resource in multi-party interactions, in the form of debates about the UK and the European Union. Specifically, we explore how both pro- and anti-EU politicians use derisive laughter to manage issues of who-knows-what and who-knows-better. We demonst…

Facts as Social Action in Political Debates about the European Union
This article focuses on the argumentative role of making factual claims and counterclaims in broadcast political debates. Despite the rise of “post‐truth politics,” this article argues that orientations to issues of “fact” and “truth” are a live and controversial matter when debating the European Union. Using Discursive Psychology (DP), the analysis is on how politicians use fact‐based (counter)claims in multiparty interactions, in the form of de…
