Think the Tories Can’t Possibly Paint Britain’s Pandemic Response As a Triumph? Think Again
Aaron Bastani
From the failures of WW2 to the horrors of empire, Britain is incapable of an honest reckoning with its history. There’s no reason to think that in a decade's time, Covid-19 won't just be another notch in a record of national self-delusion, argues Aaron Bastani.

To Stop the Far Right, Biden Must Fight for the Average American
Micah Uetricht
When he enters the White House on Wednesday, Joe Biden will have a rare opportunity to push through a bold agenda that improves the lives of average Americans, writes Micah Uetricht. Failure to do so could mean handing the levers of government to a Republican far more destructive than Trump.

Aaron Bastani
Vietnam - a country with almost 100 million people, a huge land border with China and only a third of the wealth of Bulgaria - has lost just 35 lives to Covid-19 while also seeing its economy grow last year, notes Aaron Bastani. Why is the UK failing to learn from Asia's success stories?
