The fascist right can’t decide if the country is bursting at the seams or facing demographic collapse. One minute it’s “no more room”, the next it’s “have more babies”. Strip away the rhetoric, and the truth is clear: this isn’t about numbers. It’s about race and it always has been.

Together, these stories weave a compelling tale of revolution and its impact on both the oppressed and the oppressors.
As the global green arms race heats up, the UK is having a hard time getting to Net Zero and keeping up with other countries that are leading the way in the green industrial revolution.
