The Cold War had finished, the USSR had collapsed, liberal democracy and market capitalism reigned supreme, and it wasn’t going to change.
And yet in the last few years, the script has moved quite significantly. History has returned. Emblematic of that has been the conflict between Russia and Ukraine which began in 2022, although of course, you can date that back to 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea. Today’s guest on Downstream is Serhii Plokhy, professor of Ukrainian history at Harvard University. He ...

“Iran’s strategy is fascinating, not because it's good, or just. It's just the degree of improvisation, from a country that was determined to resist the West, but did not have access to regular means of military defence.”

As attention on Reeves intensified yesterday, after it was discovered that she had not obtained the right license to rent out her property, Gebrial and @nojusticemtg highlighted the hypocrisy of the chancellor going after benefits claimants, while profiting from her house and living rent-free in a flat paid for by the taxpayer.

Climate activist and author Mikaela Loach explains why hurricanes, like the Category 5 “Melissa” that has cause widespread devastation in Jamaica, are not natural disasters but the result of decades of fossil fuel corruption.
Exxon knew in the 1970s that burning oil and gas would heat our oceans and intensify storms. Instead of changing course, it buried the science and funded climate denial.

Iran has been in the news a lot in 2025. After years of a shadow war with Israel - via Hamas, Hizbullah, Yemen and Syria - the two countries finally targeted one another during the 12 Day War in June. That was the second time Iran had attacked Israel in a year, and the first time Israel had been subject to sustained aerial assault in its history.
