The single biggest thing that happened over the last Parliament was the Covid crisis. It had an immeasurable impact on our economy and society. And Labour’s record in that period, especially during 2021, was appalling. Indeed it was sufficiently bad that at the time many people said Starmer’s errors ruled him out of any possible future as Prime Minister.
France is one step closer to a far-right government following National Rally's success in the first round of elections – but what does this mean for the UK?
If Sir Keir Starmer is prime minister this weekend, then the newly-elected Labour government will set Britain on a path backwards and towards bankruptcy.
Boris Johnson made his first appearance as part of the 2024 General Election campaign but was criticised by some political commentators.
Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez suggested that desperate times call for desperate measures, as she looks to stop the Supreme Court from continuing what she views as an "assault on democracy"
Kyiv has been told that, before it can join Nato, it must fix its problems with corruption. These are very real: the latest Corruption Perceptions Index ranks Ukraine below Belarus and Kazakhstan. But that is not the true reason why there will be no good news on accession for Zelensky at Nato’s 75th anniversary summit in Washington next week.
Laurence Tribe explained what the Supreme Court decision means in "practical purposes" and it's "devastating."
Timothy Snyder succinctly predicted what will happen “unless Trump loses.”
I’ve said it before, and will doubtless have cause to say it again: Boris Johnson might be the single most effective political illusionist this country has ever seen. No matter how many times experience fails to live up to the promise, there still seems to be no shortage of buyers for the could-have-been king act.

Now, in what should cause considerable alarm, the issue seems to be gathering momentum, with rumours swirling that Harriet Harman, who is retiring as an MP, is set to be appointed as the new chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC).
I hope you enjoy horror films, dear readers, for British politics is about to be turned into an infernal, soul-destroying hellscape worthy of the sickest of Hollywood minds.
A forest of final estimates is anticipated in this final 24 hours of the campaign. But unless they indicate that there has been a dramatic last-minute turnaround, it looks as though Sir Keir Starmer will become Prime Minister on Friday. What remains uncertain is just how badly things might turn out for the Conservatives.

A leading House Democrat is preparing a constitutional amendment in response to the Supreme Court's landmark immunity ruling, seeking to reverse the decision “and ensure that no president is above the law.” Rep. Joseph Morelle of New York, the top Democrat on the House Administration Committee, sent a letter to colleagues informing them of his intent to file the resolution, which would kickstart what's traditionally a cumbersome amendment process. "This amendment will do what SCOTUS failed to do — prioritize our democracy,” Morelle said in a statement to AP.
According to one observer, Labour’s manifesto contains 27 references to new offices, regulators, quangos, councils and authorities. One of those includes the promise of “further measures to keep everyone safe online, particularly when using social media”. Which sounds wonderful. Who could be opposed to that?
The US Air Force has been in an unseemly hurry to rid itself of its Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor stealth fighters. Its argument: the 32 least-upgraded Block 20 versions of the supersonic, fifth-generation stealth fighter aren’t suitable for combat – and together cost nearly half a billion dollars a year to maintain.
