There's a new decency in Downing Street now McSweeney's gone. Instead of echoing far right bigotry, Keir Starmer is standing against it over the Nick Timothy affair. In my column for Tribune I argue that a new dividing line has opened up at Westminster: tribunemag.co.uk/2026/03/whos-r…

The Green Party has slammed Keir Starmer for enabling the war on Iran, demanding an end to British military cooperation with the US and Israel. tribunemag.co.uk/2026/03/the-gr…

From GB News to the Telegraph, Britain’s oligarchic media has normalised anti-Muslim prejudice — and reshaped politics in its image, writes Peter Oborne. tribunemag.co.uk/2026/03/whos-r…

Nigel Farage claims that Reform is the new ‘party of workers’, yet only four percent of its candidates have traditional working-class jobs — exposing its populist facade for pro-elite interests. tribunemag.co.uk/2026/03/reform…

A new East London leisure centre symbolises the restrained ambitions for sport and play under permanent austerity. tribunemag.co.uk/2026/03/the-le…

Liverpool writer Jeff Young has attracted a dedicated readership in recent years, following publication of two books that powerfully and hypnotically catalogue late-1970s Europe and his native Merseyside over the last few decades. tribunemag.co.uk/2025/03/rimbau…

I’ve written in the @tribunemagazine today about the growing risk of the UK being drawn into an illegal war with Iran without parliamentary approval. Allowing US forces to use UK bases for illegal strikes on Iran is an affront to democratic accountability and international law. Decisions that could draw Britain further into this spiralling conflict must not be taken behind closed doors. Parliament must have the opportunity to debate and vote on them.

Ministers are allowing US bombers to use British bases despite clear public opposition to the attacks on Iran. Parliament must vote before the government drags us deeper into this illegal war, writes @iqbalmohamedMP. tribunemag.co.uk/2026/03/the-wa…

Wrote for @tribunemagazine about how Trump’s claim of victory in Iran is looking increasingly shaky tribunemag.co.uk/2026/03/iran-i…

I’ve got an hour to myself today, so catching up with my backlog of @tribunemagazine, this one is from summer ‘25. 🌹✊

The US hoped a devastating air campaign would trigger regime collapse. But Iran is fighting back — and reshaping the terms of the conflict. tribunemag.co.uk/2026/03/iran-i…

There’s no reason why Royal Mail must face decline. But getting to a brighter future means decent working terms, not copying Amazon, and respecting a workforce which is the company’s biggest strength. Me in @tribunemagazine tribunemag.co.uk/2026/03/revers…

If Labour wants to rebuild trust in democracy, it must confront the growing influence of extreme wealth on our political system, writes @NeilForPoole. tribunemag.co.uk/2026/03/big-mo…

Royal Mail’s owners must stop ignoring the chaos in the postal system and accept that quality service requires decent working conditions and a real vision for the company’s future, writes @DaveWardGS. tribunemag.co.uk/2026/03/revers…

Far from being a community effort to defend boozers, Reform UK’s campaign to ‘save British pubs’ is a seedy attempt to open up tax breaks for millionaire hospitality tycoons. tribunemag.co.uk/2026/03/nigel-…

After years of publicly supporting Conservative governments, Tracey Emin now presents herself as non-partisan — yet the personal agonies depicted in her work remain inseparable from the political contexts that shaped them. tribunemag.co.uk/2026/03/tracey…

The creeping enshittification of online platforms isn’t accidental but the inevitable consequence of the power of Big Tech. Only organised workers can reverse it. tribunemag.co.uk/2026/03/worker…

The Shonandai Cultural Centre in Japan is public architecture with the space to dream. A book series recounts the ways in which it offers a corrective to the ‘fun’ architecture New Labour hoped would regenerate British cities. tribunemag.co.uk/2025/03/dreami…

The Greens’ victory in Gorton and Denton represents the failure of Starmer’s Labour. But if socialists abandon the Party now, it will only strengthen Reform. tribunemag.co.uk/2026/03/labour…

The National Gallery’s outsourcing and poor treatment of staff is driving its BAME workforce into poverty and precarity. Their union says this amounts to discrimination against black and brown workers. tribunemag.co.uk/2026/03/art-wo…
