We've got brilliant contributions in this issue, notably from @lowles_nick, who speaks to @butwhatifitsall about the life of his son @JackmerrittJack, taken from us at London Bridge but whose legacy lives on.

"Extinguish hatred with his kindness" 😌

Nick also brings his focus to bear on the challenges ahead, as we look at the divisions of the last few years and peer at the horizon – can progressives like @hopenothate forge better alliances?

➡️ POLLING: 60% think next decade will be worse

hopenothate.org.uk/nick-lowles-on…

Forging better alliances to tackle the major issues of the day – like the #ClimateCrisis – is why we relaunched our last magazine with a climate special, looking at sceptics, deniers, people movement & more 🔥🌊
hopenothate.org.uk/research/clima…

We've lots of new polling in the new @hopenothate magazine this time, too – @Rosiecarte delves into the mood of the nation, revealing that we're an ever-more tolerant place (despite the gloomy predictions) but remain divided, especially young/old, Leave/Remain, etc.

👆 that's a brilliant shot 📸 by Andrew Testa (of @panospictures), btw – we've got a small selection of his images in the mag – for a full suite of Andrew's 'State of the Union' Brexit Britain 🇬🇧 photo essay, visit 👇

@hopenothate And again, here's the hub for this edition of the @hopenothate magazine, which I edited along with @lowles_nick

As the name suggests, it's all about "HOPE" ...

@hopenothate @lowles_nick The last two magazines have both been good (imo) and build on a long tradition of fantastic anti-fascist reporting by many, many others.

Hopefully we're remaining true to the 'spirit' of @hopenothate ... all a credit to @lowles_nick vision 👏
