The upcoming Budget marks yet another crossroads for Labour, as we are grappling with the disarray left by successive Conservative governments. Fourteen years of austerity have wrecked our economy. Our public services, starved of funds, are failing those who need them most. Wages weren't keeping pace with inflation, rents skyrocketed, and energy price hikes left people choosing between heating and eating.

It might seem counterintuitive to think about care as a Generation Z issue. When politicians bring it up, it’s often seen as a way of courting older voters.

It’s been a year since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. What Vladimir Putin hoped would be a three-day conquest has turned into a prolonged stalemate. As fighting rages on, so too do debates about the role of western governments in the conflict and what position the international left should take.
