Raven Hart is co-founder of the Bristol Cooperative Alliance, an organisation that aims to promote a decentralised economy that empowers local communities and facilitates democratic self-determination.
After fifty years of neoliberalism, smaller British cities have some of the worst life prospects in Western Europe. Does a case study of one of them offer any clues about how to challenge uneven development and reverse postindustrial decline?
In the past few years, British health workers have faced smears, targeted media attacks, and workplace persecution — all for the simple act of expressing support for Palestine.
The Swedish tech giant has rigged the music industry against artists, mined listeners for data, and made music boring for everyone. Or is that just what the major recording labels want you to believe?
A new book by a former Shooting Times editor argues that landowners are given a hard time and that campaigns to increase public access to the countryside are wrong. Surprisingly enough, the establishment loves it.
Yesterday’s Spending Review is another example of how the government is trying to muddle on through, leaving core services like social care underfunded, the wealth of the rich undertaxed, and millions of us exposed to worsening instability and insecurity.
The campaign to annex Greenland has provided one of the weirder subplots of Trump’s second presidential term. Was this harebrained colonialist episode anticipated in a now forgotten novel by two modernist masters?
‘Starmerism’ has been defined by absence rather than a firm plan for government. Now the Labour leadership is tending towards passive acceptance of the nationalist spirit of the age.
One of the few policy innovations of the current Labour government is a turn towards rearmament under a new ‘military Keynesianism’. This means more profits for weapons manufacturers — and more authority for capitalist states.
Anthony Albanese’s Australian Labor Party is competing with Starmer’s for blandness and capitulation — and in doing so, proving the importance of rebuilding international working-class power.
Landowners often reap the benefit of infrastructure projects without lifting a finger. But through an increasingly used process called ‘land value capture’, private profit can be channeled back into public hands.
In order to solve the housing crisis inherited from the Tories, Labour needs to look beyond the ‘bonfire of red tape’ narrative and crack down on developer profiteering.
Under new leadership, Tribune will continue its print publication, which has been in circulation since 1937, while pursuing an ambitious expansion of its editorial mission.
As British establishment opinion begins to turn against Israel, the hypocrisy shown by government figures like Foreign Secretary David Lammy, who long defended Israeli brutality, is both ironic and infuriating.
British productivity has been stagnating for years. But what if the solution lies in empowering workers — and making people happy and healthy — rather than in narrow economic fixes?
Israel’s absence in recent negotiations between Trump, Hamas, and Middle Eastern leaders marks a crossroads in the US-Israeli relationship. Is Netanyahu losing support in Washington for his genocidal campaign?
As our new issue, ‘Facing the Future Again,’ is released, incoming Tribune editor Alex Niven argues that the time for disillusioned nitpicking is over — the Left must now stand in populist, militant, unified opposition to the surging far-right.
The rise of a new far-right Catalan nationalist party is a sinister development in European politics, showing how voters wearied by inequality and frustrated by failed devolution projects are seeking solace in blood-and-soil populism.
Recent clampdowns on protest under Starmer and Sunak extend a long-running war on the Left waged by the British state. Meanwhile, far-right forms of extremism are scandalously deemed low-risk ‘cultural nationalism’.
Keir Starmer’s media cheerleaders said he would replicate the quiet radicalism of Clement Attlee once in power. But one year into an inactive, often inaudible Labour administration, comparisons with the 1945 government seem absurd.
In the landscape of contemporary European politics, our rulers seem increasingly intent on walking us towards catastrophe — an ‘eyes wide shut’ approach that badly misremembers the cautionary tales of the twentieth century.
