    Assange is a merchant of sleaze, not a hero

    18 May 2019

    Some have suggested that the founder of WikiLeaks, who recently was sentenced in Britain to 50 weeks in jail for jumping bail seven years ago, should be viewed as a heroic defender of press freedom and the public’s right to know. But Julian Assange is no hero.

    Farage won’t make a dent in a general election, Labour vigour and Tory retrenchment will kill the Brexit Party

    18 May 2019

    The European election campaign has so far been all about the Brexit Party. Seemingly out of nowhere, Nigel Farage’s new anti-EU project has rocketed to the top of the polls – the latest YouGov poll has it at 35 per cent – picking up bags of media attention on its way, leaving concerned pundits scratching their heads at this insurgent force in British politics.

    Corbyn’s rise was based on the support of young people and he risks losing them if he doesn’t back a second Brexit vote

    01 May 2019

    I remember quite vividly the first time that I met Jeremy Corbyn. It was at a Labour Party drinks reception in the early summer of 2018, in the stifling heat of a rather stuffy and uninspiring events space in central London.

    EU citizens who have made the UK their home need to be treated as more than mere strangers

    I never thought “voter suppression” would be a phrase that I’d ever associate with British politics.

    At the end of a two-hour meeting have May and Corbyn agreed to never agree to anything?

    04 Apr 2019

    Five days after the UK was meant to leave the European Union, and with exactly one week to find a way out of the Brexit mess that has been entirely beyond her for the last three years, Theresa May has had a meeting with Jeremy Corbyn.

    Is leaving the European Union of vital importance, or do we want to fix Britain instead?

    03 Apr 2019

    Brexit is a black hole. For the past three years, it has been swallowing up politicians’ attention, parliament’s time, public money and the bulk of the news agenda. And it’s far from over.

    Charities like Oxfam need a culture change

    03 Apr 2019

    We’re facing a critical moment in history. Our politics are deeply divided, inequality and insecurity is rising, and the planet is burning. States and markets are failing us. We need a vocal and effective civil society more than ever before. But if organisations like Oxfam are to fulfill our potential we need to change fundamentally.

    Will they conspire to ruin a final say vote?

    07 Apr 2019

    At last, there is some good Brexit news. Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn are reportedly discussing a Final Say referendum in their negotiations on a cross-party compromise. But now, the bad news. Neither leader wants such a public vote and some referendum supporters fear they may use their discussions to kill the idea off once and for all.

    Leaving the EU has already crippled Britain for good

    07 Apr 2019

    Future historians will look back at Britain in the age of Brexit and seek to explain why its people reduced their power and influence in the world in the belief that they were doing the exact opposite.

    Johnson recklessly picks at the scabs of Ireland’s violent past
