Your Party is a rare opening in British politics: the chance to put democracy and socialism where they belong, at the centre of public life. For us in Democratic Socialists, this is about a lot more than a new logo or a fresh electoral brand. We believe that Your Party must build a society where […]

‘Make no mistake: this is just the beginning.’ That is what we said after our election victory in Islington North last year — and we meant it. A month after the election, we held our first ‘People’s Forum’. The idea behind Islington’s People’s Forums is simple yet powerful: to create a shared space where everyone’s […]

The Chancellor's measured statement was quite different from what the weeks of media hype about it had suggested, argues Simon Nixon

Ethel Carnie Holdsworth should be as famous as Jane Austen. Born in Oswaldtwistle in Lancashire in 1886, she began working part-time in a textile factory at the age of eleven, and full-time from thirteen. She wrote poetry, the rhythm of the looms caught in her metre. A second edition of Rhymes from the Factory (1907) […]

I think a fair bit about how generative AI can help our everydays. (I also think a lot about its challenges, but this post is not about that.) Here is a good example for how it can be useful with a complex meal prep situation for which Thanksgiving is the ultimate case (which I’m celebrating […]

Mike carried Eggo waffles for a girl named Eleven. They were not love waffles, but Mike Sheets was hoping, so he carried the box of Eggos down the stairs to the basement. During science class at Hawkins Middle School or trick-or-treating with his friends, he’d imagine dancing with Eleven at the annual Snow Ball. He’d imagine following her to the Hawkins Laboratory, where she would crush the skulls of bad men with her thoughts. In the evening, when his mother told him that it was time for bed, Mike left Eggos in the pillow fort and went to his bedroom, wondering whether Eleven was thought-crushing the skulls of bad men without him.
