🚨 Our Autumn 2025 issue is out today! It's all about the battle over space and how it affects us all. Let's take a look inside... 🧵 https://t.co/G9vJMhUe70

War is fought by ordinary people. Two of them share their stories:

Why the oft-repeated observation that the Labour Party owes “more to Methodism than Marxism” annoys Neil Kinnock

Morgan Talty's debut novel is a powerful exploration of family, heritage and identity https://t.co/6Bz8pMnPJr

"Being from a country that’s constantly misrepresented has given me a lifelong radar for nuance. I know that behind every grim headline, there are poets scribbling in cafés, kids giggling in schoolyards, and grandmothers cracking bawdy jokes"

What is it about grandmothers' cooking that gives it such unique power to comfort us?

As the number of atomic bomb survivors dwindles - 80 years on from the attacks on Japan - their descendants have begun to assume the responsibility of showing the horrors of nuclear warfare. We need to listen to their voices:

"The public doesn’t understand how much we rely on space as a domain of warfare"

"In the far reaches of our solar system, the Pioneer probes are soaring into the oblivion of deep space. But these cosmic messages in a bottle carry with them a lie, purposely told, that incorrectly reflects the biology of half the human population"

As flu and Covid season strikes again, two books by @c_crampton and @williamrees0 have lessons on how to navigate health anxiety https://t.co/AhNkPrjk0A

Is hypochondria “the marquee condition of our age”?

The vast domain of space is easy to ignore. But every single one of us has a vested interest in protecting it. Here's why:

"History offers hope: attitudes to abortion have changed in the past, and they will surely change again"

Country music has long shed its Bible-bashing image. Today, bluegrass is helping to heal America’s deep divides

In his latest book, Julian Barnes reminds us to keep asking ourselves: What if I'm wrong? https://t.co/RFPRbXq55V

"The Labour movement has never been afflicted by religious sectarianism. We’ve had Marxists and Christian Socialists and liberals and a lot of humanists, right from the beginning”
