By Anthony Barnett Verified| The New Statesman Verified As William Morgan was being arrested in Liverpool during the riots this August, he can be heard on a police bodycam exclaiming “I’m English, I’m English”. It has the force of outrage, as if it meant they were handcuffing the wrong person – but also of self-justification. He got sentenced to two years and eight months after pleading guilty to violent disorder and possessing an offensive weapon. Morgan was far from alone among the rioters in proclaiming his Englishness.
By Anthony Barnett Verified| The New Statesman Verified Stuart Weir, the New Statesman’s editor from 1987 to 1991, died peacefully in his sleep on 2 July 2024, after a series of strokes. He was 85. Mischievous is the word that comes immediately to mind about Stuart. A roguish sense of humour, a delight in being contrarian, a gleeful opposition to authority when he could expose its misdeeds.
