1. Jeremy Corbyn Is Getting More Radical, Not Less.
Harold Wilson once said of Tony Benn that ‘he immatures with age’. But for Jeremy Corbyn, the older he gets, the more he sounds like a Millennial radical. Labour’s 2017 general election manifesto proved popular with the public because it caught the mood of the times. This week, the Labour leader has shown that those pledges to end Tory austerity, ‘fat cat’ tax breaks and privatisations were only the start. Water companies will be nationalised... Читать дальше...

In a little over a weeks time around the bars and hotels of Birmingham, Brexit was always going to be the dominating topic of conversation.

In the Trump era it may seem like posturing, showmanship and fake news are more prevalent than ever before. In reality, we’ve always been drawn in by the power of bold narratives and dubious, yet entertaining, storytelling. All that has changed in recent years is the speed at which lies can spread.

Country sensation Carrie Underwood, Actor James Van Der Beek, Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, wellness icon Joe Wicks and comedian Chris Ramsay – they may not be names that are often cited in the same breath, but there are two things that unite all of them in a saddening form of solidarity. Firstly, they have all been vocal about their tragic experience of miscarriage over the last month, and second, they have been brave enough to speak out about the grief caused. Their decisions to speak out were... Читать дальше...

Like many of us, I’ve been gripped by the BBC six-part thriller Bodyguard, featuring Richard Madden’s exceptional performance as DS David Budd. This is a character that takes us to another level in terms of portraying the impact that trauma can have on a person’s life and career.
