A short but very sound article on architecture in the @TheCriticMag today. Go give it a read.
A short but very sound article on architecture in the @TheCriticMag today. Go give it a read.
A crucial intellectual task in the coming decades will be bridging the conservative tradition, which for all its flaws doesn’t deserve to die and slowly disappear, to something with more directional momentum, of which there are several options emerging. unherd.com/2024/04/the-fu…
The legend Lord #Salisbury in 1902 riding a stream car.
After about a year and a half, my (partial) custodianship of the @UKMallard account is at an end. I want to get back to purely writing (and ideally writing a lot) for the time being, as that’s what I find most enjoyable and rewarding. Thus, please expect more of that to come.
Another article in the works, involving some consulting of these two fine books (amongst a few others).
Thanks again to @bournbrookmag for promoting my article in this month’s magazine, in which I discuss the odd preponderance of phrases involving walls, gates, fields and fences amongst political commentators over the past few years.

I have a new essay out now concerning the 1918 general election, rightly regarded with some significance in British political history but involving an arguably predetermined outcome which has been discussed far less. 1/2
"Future conservative politics–necessarily possessing a restorationist outlook relative to the damage wrought by the Blairite paradigm–must develop a means to freely express its continuity with the country's deep roots." @XanderHWest in our latest issue: bournbrookmag.com/subscribe
In @bournbrookmag this month I have written some observations on particular quirks in the contemporary political discourse. The next paradigm must reconnect itself to this country’s deep traditions should it wish to see Britain survive and succeed long into the future.

An interesting idea, at least for the simple mapping of the current paradigm and the two broad directions of its challengers.

What is Subtopia? @XanderHWest on the creepy nowhere places that we may all soon be living in — if we aren't already thecritic.co.uk/we-must-escape…
Very happy to make my debut in @TheCriticMag today discussing the work of Ian Nairn, who had many perhaps prophetic thoughts on postwar housing, central planning and our sense of place, worth taking heed of in the present.

As Ian Nairn warned, writes @XanderHWest, British town planning has had a grim levelling effect on our urban and rural spaces thecritic.co.uk/we-must-escape…
Subtopia — a lot more than just drab cul de sacs, it’s suburbia meets dystopia, writes @XanderHWest thecritic.co.uk/we-must-escape…
I thought this Critic debut from @XanderHWest, on the bleak implications of suburban standardisation, was really interesting thecritic.co.uk/we-must-escape…

'The nineteenth-century writer Walter Bagehot characterised the monarchy as the ‘dignified’ part of the UK constitution (as opposed to the ‘efficient’ part played by government), the key role of which was to foster a sense of affinity to the established constitutional order'.
What is constitutional monarchy and what is its role in the UK? Our latest briefing covers the roles that the monarchy plays, whether it can act as a constitutional ‘longstop’ and some questions that would need answering if it were abolished. Read it 👇 constitution-unit.com/2024/04/24/wha…

The problem with a culture that insists everything is empowerment and self-expression and being our authentic selves is that nothing can be called vanity anymore. We've lost the words for self-obsession.

It’s extremely hard to discern what conservatism even is. Is it an intellectual tradition? No, I think that was just fabricated by Kirk. Is it an instinct? Well, maybe. But I also think socialism and liberalism can stem from instinct.
This is an excellent summary of why Reform will never succeed in right-replacement of the Tories. They're don't have the institutional set up to be a serious or well-run party; what credibility they had has been ebbing away through their candidate fiasco. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

What’s worth noting about this observation is that, contrary to the ulta-trad vibes that get projected onto him, Scruton is essentially saying that something old needs to be revitalised by something new from time to time in order to even survive.
Roger Scruton wrote that 'without Eliot, the philosophy of Toryism would have lost all substance during the last century.'
