Hello! Rife Magazine ceased publishing new work in July 2022.

We've kept the magazine online as an archive and hope you'll still continue to enjoy all of its contributions from the last 8 years.

The Rife Team

Rupert Lifely

23-year-old aspiring political journalist. I am a recent history and politics graduate from the University of Liverpool. Keen interest in examining how historical memory influences contemporary society and politics. I have recently been fundraising for international development agency VSO, whom before the Coronavirus I was due to work in Uganda on their ‘resilient livelihoods’ programme for 3 months.

The three pillars of my leisure time are cafetieres of coffee, hip hop, and cycling around beautiful Bristol.

Is Coronavirus transforming political possibilities in the UK?

Rupert looks ahead to what might happen next in our pandemic-struck political landscape
