Jamie Maxwell’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

I’m a political journalist and writer.

I write about socialism, populism, the break-up of Britain, and our looming climate apocalypse. I’ve reported extensively from the UK, Canada, Europe, and the US.

In 2014, I co-edited Old Nations, Auld Enemies, New Times, a collection of essays by Tom Nairn.

I grew up in Edinburgh and studied politics at Glasgow University and journalism at Birkbeck, University of London. After that, I lived in Belfast and Vancouver. I am currently back in Glasgow.

| Le Monde Diplomatique - English Edition
This is England: closing-down sale at a shop in Beccles, 20 February 2026 Geography photos · Universal images· Getty/Ryan Jenkinson · Getty In 2020 the American activist and anthropologist David Graeber made a prediction: ‘The Labour Party under Keir Starmer will abandon its core idealism and principles and won’t even gain tactical advantage.
