Political Tensions and the Rise of Radicalization

Columns. Analysis. The Guardian's Long Read. Who has time? Catherine Bohart, that's who, and she's going beyond the headlines to give you the lowdown on one of the biggest stories this week, with our usual nerd sidekick, guest expert and roving comedian correspondent.

This week: What's with all the riotous goings-on?

Writer Tom Neenan explores what's been happening on the streets, Professor Anand Menon explains how this fits into the context of the rise of the far right across Europe and Zoe Lyons wonders why British fascists don't seem to scrub up quite as well as their continental equivalents...

Written by Catherine Bohart, with Madeleine Brettingham, Sarah Campbell, Georgie Flinn, Ellen Robertson and Pravanya Pillay.
