Western politics
I've divided political articles into 'western politics' and 'global politics' (see below). I've written a lot of features about important western political figures, including Donald Trump, Margaret Thatcher, Francois Hollande, Angela Merkel, Jeremy Corbyn and Bernie Sanders.
​
The economic and social legacy of Lady Thatcher
​
Donald Trump and the politics of 'dog whistle' smears
​
Francois Hollande - the 'faux' socialist
​
Angela Merkel and the refugee crisis
​
​
Bernie Sanders the socialist outside
British Government's attempts to privatise NHS
​
The brutality of the US prison system
​
A progressive and environmental case for restricting immigration?
​
Global politics
These features have often focused on a specific issue that interested me, such as Japan's overwork, President Erdogan's corruption in Turkey, and the US evangelical roots of homophobia. But there are also articles about global issues, such as the drug trade and FIFA's corruption.
​
How US evangelicals exported homophobic hatred to Africa
​
The economic costs of homophobia in Africa
​
​
Sepp Blatter and FIFA corruption
​
Where are the drug capitals of the world?
​
Ranking the most corrupt countries on earth
​
President Erdogan's uncertain future in Turkey
​
Socio-economic causes of Brazil's riots
