The leading philosopher and friend of openDemocracy Tom Nairn has died at the age of 90. Nairn was one of the world's most important theorists of nationalism; British and Scottish nationalism in particular.

In the essay below, first published in 2020, @adamramsay drew on Nairn's ideas to argue for a radical rethinking of the British state. It contains what we believe to be Nairn's last interview.
