Nigel Farage’s donations: four key claims fact checked by an expert in political finance

(Tiempo de lectura: 3 - 6 minutos)

It was prototypical Nigel Farage. A cryptic announcement that a statement is about to be made, a wholesale hijacking of the news agenda hinting at a “will he won’t he?” state of affairs, followed by a blistering attack on “the establishment” (or, at least, Farage’s conception of the establishment), and a big finish – he is resigning as MP for Clacton, therefore triggering a by-election – in which he will stand once more (though it appears the other main parties will not).

Democratic socialists aren’t the only young, progressive Democrats dividing the party

(Tiempo de lectura: 4 - 8 minutos)

A number of recent high-profile congressional primaries in the Democratic Party have resulted in the nomination of unexpected candidates. Many of these winning candidates have unseated entrenched incumbents, as 29-year-old Colorado attorney Melat Kiros did to U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, who has been serving in the House for three decades.

Nato summit will reveal how alliance plans to manage European security as US cuts back its support

(Tiempo de lectura: 3 - 6 minutos)

Two massive Russian attacks on Kyiv in less than a week, renewed Iranian threats in the Strait of Hormuz, and a security crackdown in Turkey are just three of the immediate issues shaping the context of the Nato summit in Ankara on July 7-8.

While Ukraine and Iran will be on Nato’s agenda, the authoritarian drift of its host, Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, will be politely overlooked. But as ever, the summit outcome will be determined by the position of the United States.

Banalisation des pantouflages sous l’ère Macron: un risque démocratique ?

(Tiempo de lectura: 5 - 10 minutos)

La loi encadre le passage de fonctionnaires du secteur public vers le secteur privé, communément appelé « pantouflage ». Elle sanctionne la prise illégale d’intérêts d’un agent public lorsque ce dernier avantage une entreprise privée dans le but d’être recruté par elle. Or, la recherche montre que le pantouflage et le « rétro-pantouflage » (retour du fonctionnaire dans le public après un passage dans le privé) se sont développés sous la présidence d’Emmanuel Macron. Les contrôles et les sanctions, eux, sont très insuffisants.

In rebuke to Trump, Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship, emphasizing the promise of equality in the Declaration of Independence

(Tiempo de lectura: 3 - 6 minutos)

The Supreme Court on June 30, 2026, declared that universal birthright citizenship is protected by the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, meaning that nearly all babies born in the United States automatically become American citizens, regardless of their parents’ immigration status.

Indie sleaze: a brief fashion history, from messy rebellion to mainstream revival

(Tiempo de lectura: 3 - 5 minutos)

Indie sleaze is back, but not as you remember it. The 00s scene’s revival taps into a growing backlash against hyper-polished influencer culture, offering a messier, more authentic alternative that feels both nostalgic and deliberately staged.

The original indie sleaze look of the 2000s was an intentionally unrefined way of dressing, driven by a desire to stand apart from mainstream fashion, with a carefully constructed sense of effortless cool.

La démocratie en recul face à la poussée des autoritarismes

(Tiempo de lectura: 4 - 7 minutos)

Alors que les relations internationales traversent une phase de turbulences et de redéfinitions, plusieurs grandes puissances semblent converger vers des modèles de gouvernance mêlant fermeture nationale, interventionnisme économique et concentration des pouvoirs. Dans Trump, Poutine et Xi Jinping. Le national capitalisme autoritaire, modèle pour un nouvel ordre mondial, Pierre-Yves Hénin, professeur émérite à l’Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, propose un cadre d’analyse pour penser ces évolutions et poursuit sa réflexion sur le concept de « national capitalisme autoritaire » (NaCA) déjà entamée dans un ouvrage précédent.

The mistakes that sealed Keir Starmer’s fate

(Tiempo de lectura: 3 - 5 minutos)

On the gloriously sunny morning of July 5 2024, Keir Starmer walked into Downing Steet as prime minister for the first time, having won a stonking 174-strong majority in the general election the day before. On a similarly warm morning a little less than two years later, he has been forced to stand outside Number 10 and announce his resignation. How did it come to this?
