A deeply confused Telegraph piece.

There is a different banal correct version of it (as Goodwin argued in March). English is a national identity which most of English think was multiethnic for several decades. + an English ethnic group within that wider nation

It’s not racist to believe in English identity
As with any people, there are fuzzy edges and exceptions. But the existence of these anomalies doesn’t mean the people don’t exist

Always my favourite thing when academics do the hard work to prove the thing your gut already knew to be clear and true.

In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians.

We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties.
