Peaky Blinders and the rise of the working-class superhero

Long-running TV favourite Peaky Blinders hits the big screen with Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man in cinemas and coming to Netflix this month. Cillian Murphy is back as Tommy, with Barry Keoghan playing his wayward son Duke. We talk to the show’s creator, Steven Knight about themes of succession, redemption, and the rise of fascism.

Plus! It’s B Corp month. Our special edition catches up with Formula E bosses, who are revved to have received the first ever certification for a sport. We examine how the impact economy is shaping the UK, and take a look at some of the movement’s best guilt-free food offerings.
