May’s Brexit bluster cannot hide the Tory crises in schools, housing and health
When Theresa May invoked article 50 last month, she promised parliament she would “take this opportunity to build a stronger, fairer Britain”. This wasn’t, of course, the first time the May had felt the need to tell us of her apparent focus on fairness. When she made her first speech as PM, on the steps of Downing Street in July, she pledged to be on the side of ordinary working families – the “just managing” – and to fight the […]

Diane Abbott: Corbyn is Labour’s best hope of reaching Downing Street
The knee-jerk reaction of so many British politicians to support the US bombing of Syria should be a sharp reminder that Jeremy Corbyn is indispensable to forging a new politics. He took the brave and correct stance not to endorse yet another US-led war. Over three decades these military interventions have ended in disaster. None of the supporters of bombing Syria can explain why another war there would be different. It is Jeremy’s commitments to peace, to equality and […]
