Tribune #30 | Winter 2026

Inside:

The old world order is fracturing. Trump’s ‘Donroe Doctrine’ is reshaping global politics with brutal force — but it is also exposing the limits of US power, and opening space for something new. The new issue of Tribune asks: can the left seize the moment?

Grace Blakeley argues that the collapse of US unipolarity opens new possibilities for socialist movements around the world. Alex Niven asks whether Trump’s belligerence might paradoxically open the door to a new left Atlanticism. Brian Leishman confronts the Gaza genocide and the global imperial structures that sustain it. And Marcus Barnett profiles novelist and Bradford 12 defendant Tariq Mehmood — writer, anti-racist, and one of the most remarkable figures in British political life.

Elsewhere: Anna Raposo de Mello maps the global far-right network the left must confront; Nandita Lal traces the neo-colonial scramble for critical minerals driving 2020s geopolitics; and Lars Cornelissen reveals how neoliberalism was built on colonial foundations. In history, Clive Webb revisits the Russell Tribunal — and what it means to hold imperial power to account when international institutions fail — and Ethan Rooney recovers the Jewish Labour Bund’s dream of solidarity without borders. In culture, Ben Thompson on the pro-Palestinian electronic music of Muslimgauze, and a sharp reassessment of BBC dramatist Sally Wainwright.
