If the Tories were a vegetable, they wouldve been composted years ago. Not in British politics, where rotten parties stick around long after theyre past due.Nothing epitomises this more than the fourteen-year reign of the Conservatives, who were finally removed from power in the July 2024 general election, scoring their worst-ever result.If only it were a victory for Labour. Though it claimed a near-record-breaking 411 seats, Keir Starmer won with the smallest majority on record, taking in under 38% of the vote.If anything, both parties lost big. But the public punished the Tories hardest.Dial back to January 2024. Suspecting Rishi Sunaks government wouldnt make it through the year, The Battlegrounds Josh White began recording an election diary in anticipation of its fall.Starting monthly and going weekly once elections were called, Whites monologues anticipated what would happen to Sunak and how Labour would fail to capitalise on its electoral triumph.If this sounds like a Greek tragedy, it is. Just call it Tories Are Dead. Josh White got it right; the only beneficiaries of the Tories death are Nigel Farage and his far-right Reform UK party.Compiled from The Battlegrounds Left To Burn podcast, Whites broadcast transcripts paint a chilling picture of what would happen to UK politics under Starmers rule.Published at the most fragile moment in Starmers tenure, Tories Are Dead offers a rare window into Labours crisis and why Britain is badly in need of a competitive and stable social democratic party.

Nono livro de poemas de um dos mais consagrados poetas, contistas e tradutores brasileiros em atividade, este volume traz Paulo Henriques Britto em sua melhor forma. Avesso ao sentimentalismo, aos arroubos, a autocomiseraço, o autor criou uma poetica extraordinaria, com linguagem afiada e ironica, equilibrada entre o ceticismo e a descrença.Embora os poemas de Paulo Henriques Britto sugiram resignaço e pessimismo, uma segunda leitura pode revelar o sentido oposto. A propria insistencia em escrever em tentar encaixar o mundo na forma fixa do verso opera como um "impulso visceral, organico,/ que mantem o cerebro ativo/ e combate ataques de panico". Como ele demonstra na serie "Intransitivas", a funço terapeutica da poesia no pode ser descartada: "E palavra em lugar de droga,/ especie incorporea de ioga".No se trata, e claro, de imaginar que o poema possa oferecer soluçes para os problemas do mundo ou dar fim as nossas angustias individuais. Longe disso. Mas o humor mal-humorado e desesperançoso do poeta atesta que "o poema cria uma existencia/ no real, mas no de todo improvavel,/ uma presença falsa que compensa". E nessa ausencia, ou falsa presença, que a poesia mostra ser capaz de oferecer "o gosto, o som, a cor" e, assim, curiosamente, cumprir "o que promete".

Art is my life and my life is art . . .The story of the twentieth-century avant-garde is a story of resistance, of the outsider, of strangeness, of individual freedom, of rejecting the ordinary and overcoming marginalisation through self-invention. It is also a story that can be told through the prism of one of its most renowned figureheads: Yoko Ono.From her early life escaping aristocratic Japanese society and the horrors of World War II to adventurous and productive exile in New York, Onos work built upon the histories of Dada, surrealism, Zen Buddhism, and experimental music. A significant influence on the elusive Fluxus artistic network, she was connected to all its major personalities. Pursuing dreams of revolutionary liberation and aiming to recreate shattered post-war reality through performance, art and text, she established a legacy - despite her tumultuous personal life - as one of the most visionary artists and activists of her generation.Marking the intersection of biography, cultural history and artistic meditation, Love Magic Power Danger Bliss explores the deep history and vitality of the 20th century avant-garde movement and the inspiring, provocative figure who became its most celebrated, most misunderstood icon.
