Ireland’s New Republic
Ireland’s left-wing breakthrough was a decade in the making – now the challenge is build a new republic which can break with the bleak history of right-wing rule.
The Starmer Narrative
Keir Starmer’s campaign rests on the idea that Labour lost in December because it didn’t have a polished leader who could play the Westminster game effectively – if he wins on this basis, the lurch to the Right will be swift.
Why We Need a Socialist
It’s not enough for Labour leadership candidates to just say they’ll support radical policies. They need to prove they’ll fight for them – against big business, the political establishment and the billionaire-owned press.

There’s never been a more urgent time to support socialist alternatives to Britain’s right-wing media. If you believe in what Tribune is trying to do – here’s five ways to get behind us.
In Defence of Salford
The Murdoch press has started its attacks on Rebecca Long Bailey and her Salford ‘mafia’. It’s not hard to figure out why – Salford is a proud and radical working-class community that points the way forward for the Labour Left in 2020.
It Was Never Going to Be Easy
Labour lost this election not because it was too much of a working-class party, but because it was too little of one in too many places. Our cause endures – but now is the time to steel ourselves for the next fight.
Lifting the Floor
Labour’s manifesto shows that the party understands the urgency of the burning injustices that are stunting the lives of millions in Britain today – and is prepared to take action to end them.
