As the government slashes social security provision for the vulnerable, Rachel Reeves wants to relax her clampdown on ‘non-dom’ loopholes for the ultra-wealthy. Nothing better illustrates how Labour has abandoned ordinary people to become ‘capital’s B-team’.
In the election to be New York City’s Democratic mayoral candidate, Zohran Mamdani is waging war on the city’s establishment and capturing the public’s imagination in the process. Will it be enough to succeed?
As the government designates Palestine Action a ‘terrorist’ group, Jeremy Corbyn argues that MPs wouldn’t be here without the right to protest – and that this authoritarian crackdown must end now.
British publishing has been slow to document black British stories outside of the capital. A new book, taking a road trip around the UK during the Thatcher years, sets the record straight.
The government’s move to ban Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act is due to their effectiveness in disrupting genocide — and erodes the basis for dissent that all democratic societies need.
While news headlines are increasingly dominated by the nuclear face-off between Israel, Iran, and the US, life remains hellish for displaced families clinging on to the edge of the Gaza City shoreline. Who will speak for them?
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 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.

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?
