New Future
A kind of feed reader
Keir Starmer's refusal to discuss authorising UK-made missiles to strike Russia provides a telling example about our elites — even when they’re risking nuclear war, they don’t think people deserve an explanation.
The Tories introduced laws that criminalised protest to deal with the disorder they knew their policies would cause — and Labour’s refusal to repeal these laws indicates their interest in protecting that status quo.
Rachel Reeves has pledged to deregulate the financial sector, arguing there is too much focus on ‘risk’ and not enough on ‘growth’. For working people, it’s a recipe for disaster.
His chronicles of liberal discontent have made Michel Houellebecq one of the most renowned writers of the century as well as a far-right prophet. Yet liberalism’s fiercest critic still hasn’t found his alternative future.
Of the ten most deprived areas of Britain, seven saw far-right pogroms this summer. Any attempt to counter the rise of fascism must start with reckoning with and stamping out the system which spawned it.
As Reform UK soars in the polls and Muslim communities come under attack, Starmer’s Labour remains alarmingly complacent about undermining what gives the far right an advantage.
Following the killing of thirteen black youths in a suspected far-right arson attack, Britain’s black population formed an unprecedented movement to confront the institutional racism of the police and the media.
Once a leading light of the European left, a series of crushing splits have seen Die Linke’s support base crash out and turn to the far right. Its demise is a warning for socialist parties everywhere.
From monarchism to eco-fascism, internet subcultures have given rise to a new generation of ‘e-deologies’. But what — if anything — do these online movements hold for the future of the Right?
In a novel that takes the form of a long email to an estate agent, poet Ella Frears explores the housing crisis through the abstract and automated technology of an increasingly widespread online lettings platform.
Is motherhood political? In a new book, Helen Charman examines how politics in Britain and the north of Ireland have been defined by motherhood as a state of radical possibility.
Notgeld was the money issued locally in Germany during the First World War and the tumultuous interwar period. What do these strange and experimental artefacts reveal about art and money?
The short-lived but lore-heavy career of early 1980s northern synth-pop duo Soft Cell is catalogued and reappraised in a compelling new oral history, from working-class 1970s Leeds to the excesses of downtown New York City in the 1980s.
