I've decided to leave the Labour Party, after over 31 years of membership. This wasn't an easy decision, but it certainly feels like the right thing for me to do. I've written down a few thoughts on why I've come to this conclusion, which may be of interest to others who are in a similar position.

It's a straightforward relationship: high

leads to the triumph of the far right. It will keep winning until governments deliberately seek to make societies more equal. I'm looking at you, Keir Starmer. This week's column.

Rightwing populists will keep winning until we grasp this truth about human nature | George Monbiot
