Access to public services and cultural amenities is increasingly taking on a political dimension - being associated with support for the radical right. This piece reminds me of the excellent work by @dianebolet.bsky.social on the link between local pub closures and support for UKIP.
My brother wanted a London pub crawl. The result? My new Substack post: "Britain Lost 14,000 Third Places. They were Called Pubs. Is Your Local Next?" How private equity reshaped the local, which pubs are most at risk and most importantly what to do about it.
