In 2018, a man named Gyula Remes died just metres from the buildings that govern Britain, on a street surrounded by unimaginable wealth and rows of vacant properties. His death should have been impossible. Instead, it was treated as inevitable.

Death in Westminster is a four-part investigative series that begins with one life lost but soon spirals outward – from a tube station tragedy to offshore tax havens, from imperial history to modern finance.

*The Guardian: Pick of the Week (Oct 2025)*

We’re now ten years on from the Paris Agreement and 2025 began with confirmation that last year was the first full year above 1.5°C. Overshoot: Navigating a world above 1.5C is a four-part series that hears from those already upended by climate breakdown while uncovering the systemic underpinnings of the key decisions shaping our global response to climate change. It explores central stories on “techno-optimism,” corporate interference, and flawed economic models that have led us deeper into crisis.

The UK is in a moment of crisis and mainstream economics is failing to respond. Many of the challenges faced today – from the cost-of-living to climate breakdown – are the legacies of a deeper and darker history that forms the very bedrock of our modern economic system.

In Boomerang, academic and author Kojo Koram visits the city of Liverpool to explore how decisions of decades past are breaking Britain today – and how an honest reckoning with the legacies of empire can help us build an economy that works for all.

With the general election behind us and a new government in place, now is the time to act. The UK must commit to a global exit plan from fossil fuels. The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty offers exactly that—a bold, coordinated strategy to phase out coal, oil, and gas swiftly and fairly.
