With the Tories moving further to the right and becoming officially anti-EU, the time is ripe for a new party of the pro-European, respectable center-left to emerge.

Britain gave us modern history's greatest statesman, Sir Winston Churchill. We cannot know how Churchill would have voted in 2016, but he did say in 1949 that Britain's interests and the Commonwealth's were in a United Europe. And I recall what Churchill in 1941 said to students at Harrow School: âÂÂ⦠never, never, never ⦠give in.âÂÂ

The deterioration of relations with Russia after the Ukraine crisis has posed difficult, even existential questions for the alliance. What is the nature of the Russian threat? What does Russia want? Is cooperation with Russia still possible?

Ià have little doubt that Jeremy Corbyn was sincere when he originally denied that anti-Semitism could be a problem for the Labour Party, since it had always been staunchly opposed to racism. London's former Labour mayor Ken Livingstone also probably believes that his fierce anti-Zionism has nothing to do with anti-Semitism. As he put it: âÂÂA real anti-Semite doesn't just hate the Jews in Israel, they hate their Jewish neighbour . . . It's a physical loathingâÂÂ. Читать дальше...
