Liberal Democratic Party · RutherglenAttendees at Liberal Democrat conference this week took a big interest in the Rutherglen and West Hamilton by-election coming up in Scotland on 5 October. Not so much to see whether their candidate succeeds but to witness the SNP lose. They hope the by-election will be the first crack in the SNP’s hegemony over Scotland, clearing space for the Lib Dems to reclaim the position as the third-largest party in the House of Commons. Forget winning 30 …See the Story

London, England · LondonThere’s always a moment on a transatlantic flight, when trolleys have gone round and the food platters have been cleared up, when everyone finally relaxes. The truth is, I must have flown across the Atlantic dozens of times, and this quiet comes round like clockwork on every flight. As shadow foreign secretary, I’m an Atlanticist, a deep believer in Britain’s military, intelligence and nuclear alliance with the US. But as a person, I’m also a pr…See the Story

London, England · LondonSpinning faster than the Large Hadron Collider, hyperactive Rishi Sunak is losing Tory friends and alienating supporters. One middle-ranking minister moaned that the matchbox-sized Prime Minister is behaving like a “little Napoleon” by failing to inform, never mind consult, colleagues before Downing Street’s almost daily headline-generating propaganda. Those bypassed include ministers in the Treasury (inheritance tax), transport (HS2), justice (…See the Story

London, England · LondonI was struck while reading the excellent analysis of the influence of effective altruism (EA; “The effective altruism delusion”, Sophie McBain, 22 September) by the parallel with the cogent critique of the libertarian ideology behind the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA; “The Trussites in exile”, Rachel Cunliffe, 15 September) in the previous issue. What they seem to have in common is the ability to take liberties with other people’s money and…See the Story

London, England · LondonWhat is the purpose of the Conservative Party? If the answer is simply to retain power, then the past 13 years have been a success. Not only has the party continually held office, it has also increased its vote share at every general election since 2010. Yet over this period, the Tories’ ideological contradictions have been exposed. The party has cycled through Cameroon austerity, Mayite statism, Johnsonite pro-Brexit populism and Trussite l…See the Story

London, England · LondonThe Conservatives have been in power for more than 13 years under five different prime ministers. We have experienced Cameroon austerity, Mayite statism, Johnsonite populism, and Trussite libertarianism. But who now wields the greatest influence among the Tories and on the British right? In this issue, following on from our Left Power List in May, we publish our inaugural Right Power List – a guide to the 50 most influential people in conservati…See the Story

London, England · LondonIn London’s East End, the dockside district of Poplar, bombed in the First and Second World Wars, has since been a place of architectural curiosity. A muddle of postwar council estates and the neat remains of truncated Victorian and Georgian terraces, Poplar is home to tote-bag famous examples of utopian public housing, such as Balfron Tower, a block designed by the brutalist architect Ernő Goldfinger. Chrisp Street Market, a low-slung Fifties p…See the Story
