New Future

Asbestos exposure remains the leading cause of occupational deaths in Britain today. Why did successive neoliberal governments fail to address the problem — and how can we challenge their toxic legacy?

Patriotism in Ireland has long been tied to progressive ideals, but increasingly, the Right is exploiting nationalist rhetoric to expand its movement and incite violence.

Neoliberalism and postmodernism have torn apart the social fabric that once held us together. But in rebuilding the strength of labour and the organised society, we can be unified, empowered, and dignified once again.

The rise of shoplifting is a consequence of the cost-of-living crisis, not a breakdown in the social order — the Left must think about how to represent those who are forced to engage with it.

The chaotic gestation of Your Party shouldn’t obscure the fact that it emerged as a response to the generational failure of Labour under Starmer. Despite this week’s events, the appetite for an organised socialist alternative remains strong.

The UK Online Safety Act aims to protect people online. Could the legislation reinstate the principles of free speech and preserve democratic debate?

After the largest far-right protest in British history, the labour movement must abandon its complacency — and begin organising with football fans and community groups to stub out the politics of hatred and despair.

Right-wing politicians and conspiracy theorists are fuelling an anti-expert agenda in Britain. Why is their misinformation seen as a path to power?

This month’s Gaza Tribunal showed that Britain’s complicity in Israeli devastation in Palestine threatens us all. If Westminster won’t deliver accountability, the public must.
