Abby Meadows

All 39 people found dead in a refrigerated lorry container in Essex last month have now been identified.

GE2019: Exposing School Cuts Will Be the Key to Beating Boris Johnson

James McAsh

GE2019: The Liberal Democrats Are Making a Tory Brexit Far More Likely

Aaron Bastani

The legacy of Charlie Kennedy was a formidable party to the left of Labour on many issues. That of Nick Clegg was austerity for the country and organisational collapse. And Swinson? She’ll be happy enough if her party doubles in size while the Tories govern and Britain cuts a trade deal with Trump’s America, writes Aaron Bastani. As far as she is concerned it’s good for business - whatever the consequences.

GE2019: Green Tories? Don’t Believe the Hype

Adrienne Buller

GE2019: The Media Is Biased Against Jeremy Corbyn – but Does That Even Matter in This Election?

Bart Cammaerts

Grace Blakeley

BBC radio host Emma Barnett reacted with scornful disbelief on Thursday, when Labour MP Lloyd Russell-Moyle argued that nobody in the UK should be a billionaire. Economist Grace Blakeley explains why Barnett is wrong to peddle the myth that the mega rich contribute to this country.

GE2019: ‘Within Our Grasp’: What Labour Is Up Against and What It Will Take to Win

James Meadway

GE2019: This Election Is Where We Decide the Planet’s Future

Eleanor Penny

With vast swathes of the planet quite literally on fire, 71% of Britons agree climate crisis is a more pressing issue than Brexit, writes Eleanor Penny. But while Labour is offering a potentially transformative Green New Deal, the Tories have an actual fracking lobbyist writing their manifesto.

British Solidarity With Rojava Must Start at Home, With an End to the Hostile Environment

Fanny Malinen

Long Read: Catalonia, Alone? Lessons From the Contradictions of the Independence Movement

Bue Rübner Hansen

The West Midlands Mayoral Row Comes Straight From the Labour Right’s Playbook

Aaron Bastani

With the shortlisted candidates announced last week, the campaign for Labour's next West Midlands mayoral candidate is already turning bitter. Aaron Bastani argues the campaign against Salma Yaqoob is a continuation of old tricks.

Building a Democratic Socialist Movement Means Labour Members Must Decide Their Own Candidates

With the prospect of a snap election looming large, Labour's national executive committee has 'streamlined' the process for selecting parliamentary candidates. But James McAsh argues such a move weakens the movement that would deliver socialism.

Two Years On, NHS Hospitals Are Still Demanding Some Patients Pay Upfront for Life Saving Treatment

Izzi Whelan

Hostile environment policies have been widely condemned as racist and brutal, with the upfront charging of migrants - including people with cancer and pregnant women - at NHS hospitals considered one of the gravest injustices of all. Yet two years after the policy was introduced, and despite the Windrush scandal, vulnerable people are still dying after having been denied life saving treatment, writes medical student Izzi Whelan.
