80 years of peace and relative prosperity have lulled millions into believing it all immutable.

Attacking Iran fits with Trump’s desire to divert attention from his failures at home: his losses in the courts, his unpopular budget bill, millions of people protesting against his authoritarianism.

The £34bn cost of Reform UK’s “Britannia card” proposal
Reform UK’s Britannia Card would let wealthy foreigners pay £250,000 to avoid UK tax — but would likely cost £34bn and reduce skilled migration.

For 80 years, since Nagasaki and Hiroshima, nuclear weapons have not been used. An amazing tribute to humanity. And to diplomacy. Because that is what kept us safe. Rational diplomacy. The era of irrational autocrats is the real threat now

Farage and the far right in general come from a grievance culture. If you do what they want, even maximally – Brexit – they’ll move the goalposts and keep moaning. If you engage seriously with their concerns, they’ll find new ones. You will never satisfy them, because they don’t want to be satisfied
The problem with this ‘let’s weaken our commitment to the ECHR so as to fend off Farage’ plan is that when it doesn’t work, we end up with Farage *and* a weakened commitment to the ECHR at exactly the moment we need the ECHR the most.
