The Anglofuturist

Futurist, political analyst and founder of AFI- The Anglofuturists work gives voice to a new conversation about Britain's direction, exploring the false choice between progress and tradition, emphasising the need to actively shape the future.

Jack Rankin, Conservative MP for Windsor, became the second Member of Parliament to publicly identify as an Anglofuturist.

In a post from Rankin on X of his son Ted blowing out the candles on a space-themed birthday cake, complete with rockets, planets, and a Union Jack on the moon. "Celebrating a little Anglofuturist's birthday today," he wrote. "Union Jack on the moon."

When we asked in the replies whether that made him an Anglofuturist too, he replied simply: "Yes!"

It's a small exchange, but it captures something real. That te instinct to plant a British flag on the moon is something worth dreaming about for a four-year-old.

He joins Robert Jenrick in bringing the Anglofuturist conversation into Westminster.
