Editorial: Like Tony Blair in 1997, Mrs May is where the majority of voters are: to the left on the economy and to the right on social issues. She plays to this mood, a political judgment that risks society closing in on itself rather than opening up

Editorial: The appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel means the road lies open to prosecutions that will define the future of the Trump administration – and perhaps its survival
