I’m a historian, based in Vienna at the Iranian Studies institute of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. My specialisms are in digital data, how computers affect our understanding of history and identity, and the history of the Caucasus region. I’ve worked with digital creative communities making space for hobbyists and small businesses over the years, and I’m keen to ensure we properly tackle digital policy and support the innovative, economically dynamic world of small creators & artists. I grew up in rural Norfolk: rural issues and strong pro-environmental, pro-biodiversity policies matter strongly to me. That’s why I campaigned for Nature Recovery Networks as Lib Dem policy, and why I’m committed to building a liberal platform that works for rural towns. I co-wrote the policy motion that committed the party to back a Universal Basic Income in 2020. My amendments to conference motions have included commitments to restorative justice, LGBT+ rights, and supporting immigrants. Outside the party, I’ve campaigned on a range of issues, most recently leading a parliamentary petition effort against censorship by payment processors. How do I find out more? You can check out my blog, https://thoughtsofprogress.wordpress.com: contact me there, at @JubalBarca@bsky.social, Mastodon at @JubalBarca@Scholar.Social, or by email to james@wavcott.org.uk. I’m happy to answer any questions - and hope you’ll support my candidacy for FPC. Endorsement by Steff Aquarone MP.

We need a clear liberal platform for the coming years, based on values and evidence. I want to help us change the narrative with policies that challenge the other parties and set the terms of the discussion across policy areas. We need to understand the digital age and how to tackle big tech in ways that protect our data and civil liberties. As a humanities data specialist with years of experience running online communities, I’m well placed to be that needed voice on FPC. We need some more radical policies that tackle the root causes of problems. We can’t maintain credibility by approaching the biggest problems like climate change, disinformation, and inequality in a way that’s too timid to be useful. Civil liberties are under threat, especially online. I want to see us tackling the business models of tech titans and the dangers of “AI” data models. Labour and Tory policies like the botched Online Safety Act are putting people at risk—we need a liberal answer. I want us to be a strong voice for social liberalism. We should make policy that speaks for and amplifies the voices of people often marginalised by society, including trans people and migrants who are under particular threat right now. I want us to articulate a more distinct liberal economic policy, focusing on cooperative and social business models, European free movement and trade, strong standards and social security, and tackling rent-seeking and wage theft.
