Dallas is the least insured city in America when it comes to healthcare. Around a quarter of people who live there don’t have cover – and it’s often a consequence of circumstance rather than choice. The Texan stereotype is of an assault rifle-shooting, God-loving populace that call themselves rednecks with pride. And those people exist, […]

“Niggers don’t work, that’s what my daddy said.” Dennis sells Trump merchandise at the side of I35, a highway running from Canada to Mexico, just beyond Waco, Texas. Or at least he’s here today. He cruises, loosely following the president’s campaign trail, shifting MAGA t shirts, MAGA flags and MAGA hats. Business is good. Outside […]

Britain is divided right now, but I think we can all agree on one thing The United Kingdom has fucked its response to coronavirus, no matter which way you look at it. Almost 46,000 people have died as a result of Covid-19 at the time of writing, with a further 119 dying on July 28. […]

What is the Russia report? If you’ve watched the news in the United Kingdom over the past year, you’ve probably heard the phrase ‘Russia report’ uttered at least a good four hundred times.

There’s one sure-fire way into politics: money To truly influence American politics, groups and individuals spend millions in donations to get a seat at the table and lobby politicians to do what they want. If you want to go for dinner with our prime minister Boris Johnson, it’ll set you back about £50,000. But in […]
