Description: Writer and editor at Verso John Merrick (@johnpmerrick) joins the show this week to talk about the rise of Britain's new right wing in the aftermath of the Conservative election defeat. John explains how this new right wing movement are younger, more welcoming of racism and violence, and, of course, much more online. He also notes how in these digital spaces, within all the Groyper memes, is the idolising of Enoch Powell, an whose fantasies of race wars across the country they are hoping to fulfil.
