    Boris tilts scales towards Scottish independence

    28 Jul 2019

    They say a week is a long time in politics, but for those to the left of centre, this one has been as bleak as it has been long. Boris Johnson is prime minister and Priti Patel is now the most powerful woman in the UK (with apologies to the Queen). Jacob Rees-Mogg is leader of the House of Commons, Dominic Raab is representing us on the international

    Trump retort to leaked memos puts a chill on diplomacy

    12 Jul 2019

    When a cache of sensitive, embarrassing US diplomatic cables was leaked nine years ago, a chill ran down the spine of many ambassadors and their staffs. Confidential memos, some criticizing key foreign partners, were suddenly blanketing the press. It made for a few awkward tete-a-tetes, a scramble for

    Each time Farage sets crowd alight with lies

    07 Jul 2019

    Politics is seeing those you care about supporting lies from those you know will hurt them. Politics is seeing mums and dads whose world revolves around their child’s future, supporting people who, evidence suggests, will make it less bright. Politics is seeing nans and grandads who love their grandchildren more than

    Schools have been forced to send children home early

    07 Jul 2019

    Ten years into austerity, schools have found countless ways to get by on squeezed budgets, from banning colour photocopies to making staff redundant. For years it has been a delicate balancing act — what can we get rid of while minimising damage to our pupils? But there comes a point when there is nothing left to give.

    Why Swinson’s no-confidence move against Boris will fail

    26 Jul 2019

    Full marks, then, to Jo Swinson for tabling her very own motion of no confidence in Her Majesty’s government. A few days into the job and she’s already taken a fine opportunity to build a bit of profile and make a name for herself among the voting public, most of whom are still very unfamiliar with her. As an alternative

    Britain could be heading for a general election

    15 Jul 2019

    Britain needs a Labour government. With the NHS in crisis, the economy slipping into recession and the adverse impacts of austerity blighting lives and communities, we urgently need a change of direction. The Tories meanwhile are drifting further into the realms of fantasy economics and diplomacy.

    If the rumours are true, Boris’s social care plan is so bad

    27 Jul 2019

    Promising a fix for our broken social care system has become a right of passage for new prime ministers in recent times. From Blair to May, social care has consistently been a priority; at least in rhetoric if not in reality. Now, in his inaugural speech, Boris Johnson, has followed suit, committing to give “every older

    British kids need care

    12 Jul 2019

    Nothing leaves us as vulnerable as adversity does. It leaves us with a set of eyes, which stops seeing reason and a mind that turns incorrigibly manipulative. That’s why the hardened criminal is constantly found prowling for those felled by adversity.

    Johnson’s approach is more insidious than Trump’s demagoguery

    20 Jul 2019

    Is the rise of Boris Johnson to be the next prime minister the product of a soft coup? Does Donald Trump’s racist demonisation of four non-white congress members prove him to be a “fascist” leader like Mussolini and Hitler? The two questions should be answered together because political developments in Britain

    With one foot out of the door, May is finally acting human

    20 Jul 2019

    No one who has ever quit a dead-end job could fail to recognise the look of relieved bliss on Theresa May’s face last Saturday as she busted out her favourite Pinocchio-like moves to ABBA at Henley Festival. It was the dance of a woman who has weathered every political storm, been called every name under the sun, and chosen
