#39 Kojo Koram on the politics of the Tory Brexiteers
Kojo Koram joins me to discuss the politics of the Tory Brexiteers. We spoke about why it is that the prospect of trading on WTO terms is so attractive to the European Research Group, and the strange parallels between Tory Brexiteers and bourgeois nationalists in the global south during the colonial era. We also discussed the idea of a progressive English nationalism.
Our conversation was prompted by Kojo's articles in Dissent Magazine, the Guardian, and the Nation:
