Throughout history, too many left figureheads have presented socialism as something austere and defensive. To defeat an insurgent far right with no qualms about harnessing affect, we must embrace the utopian joy behind the socialist project.

In our atomised, fragmented society, newness in pop music can be increasingly hard to uncover. Tribune invited Chal Ravens to discuss the rate of innovation — and the cultural position of music in the 2020s — with fellow music journalist @liaminscoejones.bsky.social

Conservative myths about the English countryside have made it an exclusionary haven of right-wing ideology. Can we discern anything more meaningful, substantial, and in keeping with modern reality in England’s long-stereotyped rural spaces?

State pensions should be a cornerstone of intergenerational solidarity, but their gradual postponement is creating anger and hardship. The Labour government has a moral duty to fix this.

What can we learn from @awscloud.bsky.social and @microsoft.com recent cloud blackouts?

The extent of dependency is so deep & widespread that we must develop #digital #sovereignty

While liberals argue that individuals can consume ethically, socialists know that only collective organisation can meaningfully redirect capitalist profit. Can cooperative movement principles be revived in the twenty-first century?

RIP Peter Watkins. We ran this fantastic, impassioned reappraisal of him at Tribune by Jake Roberts just two days ago for his 90th birthday
tribunemagazine.bsky.social Tribune @tribunemagazine.bsky.social · 12d
Radical British filmmaker Peter Watkins was briefly tipped by the BBC before The War Game made him a controversial pariah. But he persisted — and now, at 90, he is a hero of liberated, formally remarkable socialist art.

Catherine Connolly’s victory in the Irish presidential election this week was the culmination of major shifts in Ireland’s electoral landscape since 2008 — and has created an opening for a youthful left grown tired of the old Irish political establishment.

The high modernism of Glasgow novelist Alexander Trocchi has often been overshadowed by his low living. At the centenary of his birth, can we discern a meaningful literary legacy beyond his associations with existentialism, Situationism and counterculture?

The people who do the day to day work of caring for our national archive, and of giving us access to it should be given decent wages. There is too often a belief that it is ok to underpay people who work in cultural institutions because it is such a privilege to work in them. This is bollocks,
