The Johnson era will be remembered for a series of scandals that
severely eroded trust in the British government. From questionable
PPE tenders and public appointments to the ‘partygate’ fiasco,
every aspect of public life seemed tainted. How did this downward
spiral begin, and what can be done to reverse it? In this
eye-opening book, veteran KC John Bowers presents a fearless
examination of the decline in ethical standards before, during and
after the Johnson government. He focuses on the institutions
responsible for holding the government accountable, exposing how
they have been bypassed by prime ministers determined to impose
their agenda. Through interviews with political insiders, Bowers
provides analysis of scandals such as partygate, Greensill and the
revolving door with the private sector. He shines a light on a
culture of favouritism, where standards are upheld based on little
more than the assumption those in power can be trusted to behave.
Rishi Sunak entered Number 10 on the promise of restoring
integrity, but it is clear major problems remain. Confronting the
failings of the current system, Downward spiral presents concrete
proposals for creating an alternative that is more transparent and
accountable. -- .
The experience and variety of walking practices have never been so
broad, relevant or unpredictable. Walking Bodies charts some of
their very latest developments. Editors Helen Billinghurst, Claire
Hind and Phil Smith put out a call for artists, activists,
academics, radical walkers and psychogeographers to discuss,
perform and share their experiences of current walking cultures. In
these essays, provocations, artworks and documentations, new
terrains emerge and diverse energies and thinkings reflect the huge
response to the initial call and the demand for tickets to the
conference. 'Walking Bodies' evidences anxieties, exclusions and
gradual but major changes of direction for walking arts, towards
more considered and embodied practices that re-navigate their
terrains and challenge assumptions about trajectories through the
unhuman world. Here are the beginnings of differently negotiated,
shared, provoked and provocative ambulations.
One Year is a cycle of poems written during the course of a single
year. It records the changing of the seasons in the tradition of
Thompson, Blake, Vivaldi, and many others, but at the same time
chronicles an emotional and spiritual journey that culminates in
tragedy and, ultimately, in the redemptive power of the natural
world.
