1/ In the wake of the Nowak murder, white anxiety over immigration and demographic change and resentment over 'two-tier' anti-white bias in the system is combining to produce populism & polarization in Britain.

But the threat of violence or civil war is overstated.

A thread. Image
2/ Voters on the left sympathise with minorities' feeling like outsiders & being discriminated against. Voters on the right sympathise with whites' sense of loss and double-standards around freedom to express racial identity and defend group interests. Image
3/ Right voters, especially Reform voters, are much less likely than left voters to believe that the police are too strict with black people. Over 80% of Green voters believe this compared to under 20% of Reform voters Image

1/ The Rise of the Greens among young voters in Britain. A thread from my new report @HeterodoxCentre @UniOfBuckingham 👇

First, this is more Generation Woke than Generation Rent.

Older left voters are more materialist, younger left more identitarian.

Green taps into this. Image
2/ Nearly half of 18-24s now support the Greens, a doubling in 6 months

Chart via @YouGov Image
3/ The share of far leftists is three times higher among those 18-35 than among the over-35s in my survey.

The 18-25s lean right compared to the 26-34s but the share of far leftists is the same in both. Image

1/ It’s time to end the panic about Nick Fuentes and associated influencers taking over the right.

From my new 25,000-word @UniOfBuckingham @HeterodoxCentre report, "Recreational Racists and Performative Antisemites?: A Profile of Right-Wing Audiences from Fuentes to Carlson" Image
2/ Fuentes and others are infotainers, with very little impact on public opinion.

First, Fuentes' audience is no larger than Alex Jones'. My new survey shows that just 2-3% of US adults and 7% of Trump voters under 35 tune in regularly.

Tucker & Candace Owens are larger, but.. Image
3/ There are few white nationalists among Fuentes or Tucker Carlson's followers.

Only 10-20 percent of Fuentes & Carlson's regular viewers back zero immigration or say you have to be white to be a 'true American'. Image

1/ Turkeys voting for Christmas?

Jacob Savage's millennial 'white dudes' who were discriminated against in creative professions largely reaped what they sowed.

Some insight from a small Sept 2020 sample of American grad students (white respondents only): Image
White male grad students were mostly liberal, even as their white female peers were more extreme: Image
Most white male grad students did not oppose 'decolonizing the curriculum': Image

No White Brits Need Apply for research funding. A thread.

The politicisation of UK research , which I highlight in my new @heterodoxcentre report, includes racially exclusionary grant calls.

1/ Award from @royalsociety for up to £690,000. No whites or Asians allowed... Image
2/ Award from @UKRI_News Molecular Biology Laboratory for £40k for 3 years. No whites or Asians allowed. Image
3/ Wellcome Trust, up to £200k. No whites permitted.

No East Asians and no Hindus please.

But OK if you are Bangladeshi or Pakistani. Image

1/ Think BBC is biased? UK academic research funding (UKRI) is far more so.

% of UK's £9b research funding going to left scholar activism has exploded.

Findings from my NEW @HeterodoxCentre @UniOfBuckingham report based on big data analysis of @UKRI_News research grants Image
2/ On UKRI's web pages, mentions of 'equality' trump 'excellence', and the balance has been growing ever more skewed Image
3/ Social justice terminology has been soaring in UKRI awards as millions in grant research is diverted toward cultural left 'Social Justice' research Image
