Donald J Trump

From Fordism to Fascist Nostalgia

There was a time when the production line ordered more than goods, it ordered life. Work meant wages, wages meant stability, and stability gave the illusion of progress. That was Fordism. What remains now is the shell of that promise, retrofitted as nationalist fantasy. The factory is gone, but its myth has been repurposed. Not to build, but to blame.

Chris Phelp

The Politics of Fear in Opposition

Philp’s not doing politics, he is doing panic. Jenrick’s dragging the whole Tory lot further right, and this is what’s left: no ideas, no plan, just enemies. Same fear, different headline.

A grainy, black-and-white brick wall with a faded Pride flag poster pasted in the centre. Spray-painted across the flag in bold red letters are the words “NEUTRALITY = COMPLICITY”. Below, in black stencilled text, it reads “TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS”.

Culture War

Against the Ruling: Pride, Policing, and the Politics of Supposed Impartiality

Neutrality in the face of injustice is not impartiality. This is complicity. The court’s ruling isn’t about keeping police out of politics; it’s about appeasing a reactionary movement that wants trans people pushed from public life. Today it’s Pride. Tomorrow it’s the right to celebrate Eid, to march for Black lives, to speak up for Palestine. The message is clear: visibility is permitted only for the unthreatening.

A grainy black-and-white protest-style image of a decaying urban wall covered in torn posters. One poster reads “THE LIST” in red at the top, with a series of names below it, all crossed out and smudged. Standing in front is the silhouette of Donald Trump, caught mid-act spray-painting the word “BORING” in large, dripping red letters over the list. The scene evokes secrecy, denial, and erasure.

Conspiracy Theories

The List That Wasn’t: Trump, Epstein, and the Collapse of Conspiracy

He fed them tales of satanic cabals and deep-state executions, and now expects them to believe the Epstein dossier is boring.

A weathered political poster is pasted onto an old red brick wall, reading “BRITAIN NEEDS REFORM” in bold black block letters. The poster is torn and stained, with curling edges that suggest age and neglect. Across the word “REFORM,” someone has spray-painted the word “BULLSHIT” in dripping red graffiti, partially obscuring the original message. The red paint runs down the poster in several places, adding a sense of raw defiance and protest.

Nigel Farage

Cruel Britannia: Farage’s Vision for the Future

Farage isn’t here to fix Britain. He’s here to make you hate your neighbour while his mates keep getting rich.

At the top, a stylised Doomsday Clock shows the time at 89 seconds to midnight, its right edge crumbling into scattered debris. Below, a tattered folder labelled “EPSTEIN FILES” lies tilted on the ground, next to a worn red MAGA hat. The entire composition is in grainy sepia tones with strong black and red accents, evoking urgency and political decay.

Alexander Dugin

Dugin Watch: Delay Is Not Peace, Dugin’s Fifty-Day Fever Dream

Dugin doesn’t need Trump to lead anymore. He just needs him to stall. The real project now is building a soft-theocratic death cult that prays for collapse but never acts. Spectators waiting for revelation, not revolution. Fifty days to Armageddon. Maybe. Maybe not. That’s the point.

A vintage protest-style poster in grainy red, black, and beige tones features three prominent political figures: Rachel Reeves on the left, Margaret Thatcher at the centre, and Ronald Reagan on the right. All are laughing or smiling, captured in a halftone stencil effect. The background is a distressed beige with a rough red border

Britain

Rachel Reeves and the Zombie Economics of Trickle-Down

Rachel Reeves is not just reviving trickle-down economics. She is sharpening it into a weapon aimed directly at the working class.

The title at the top reads “PUNISHED MORE, PAID LESS”. Below it is a bar chart showing sanction rates by ethnicity: White (3%), Asian (4.4%), Black (6.4%), Mixed (5.3%), Other (3.1%). The caption at the bottom says: “ETHNIC MINORITY CLAIMANTS ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE SANCTIONED. SO MUCH FOR ‘SPECIAL TREATMENT’.”

Immigration

The £12 Billion Lie

Farage says migrants are draining £12bn in benefits. The government’s own data says the real figure is closer to £3bn, and those he targets are more likely to be sanctioned and underpaid. This isn’t savings. It’s scapegoating.

The image is divided into three main sections: on the left, dark green conifer trees form a dense forest; on the right, large, jagged orange and yellow flames dominate the frame, licking upwards; above, thick grey smoke billows into a pale blue sky with sharp, graphic cloud shapes. The colours are bold and flat, with a textured, screen-printed effect, evoking urgency and destruction.

The Far Right Would Rather Burn the World Than Change It

The far right has no intention of meeting the climate crisis—they’re not even pretending anymore. As scientists warn we have just two years left to stay within the carbon budget for 1.5C, reactionary forces double down on fossil fuels, culture war, and delay. Their politics is not about preventing collapse, but exploiting it. Climate denial has become climate opportunism—and the cost will be counted in lives.
