| Abstract | Solidarity in contemporary Britain has come under pressure not only as a result of the global financial crisis and the ensuing austerity measures but also against a backdrop of constitutional volatility from the Scottish independence referendum in 2014 and the vote to leave the EU in 2016. Using cross-sectional data from an original survey of 2083 UK-based individuals, this chapter uncovers how practices, attitudes, and behaviours of solidarity towards vulnerable groups are distributed in contemporary Britain. Our findings highlight specific challenges for maintaining solidarity in post-crisis Britain as we reveal both a variegated distribution of solidarity across the constituent nations of the UK and a hierarchy of solidarity towards different vulnerable groups. |
