What do Makerfield voters really think?
It has been four weeks since the local elections that sent the Labour Party into an existential spiral, and there are two weeks to go before the by-election that could change the course of British politics. Andy Burnham has gambled everything on making a run for Westminster, hoping the personal brand he has built over nine years as mayor of Greater Manchester will help him defy his party’s unpopularity. Reform, which should do well in this constituency that voted Leave by 65 per cent in 2016, is...
The British aristocracy has never been so wretched
Our propensity to be seduced by the grandeur of country houses and noble families is rarely impeded by our politics. New Statesman writers have bravely confessed in these pages to weeping at Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, despite it being shameless Tory propaganda, or enjoying Brideshead, Saltburn, Bridgerton – all having the same alarming effect on audiences who should know better. Savage House – an addition to the genre – is not quite so easy to swoon over. It misunderstands the whole deal...

Gulf expat reactions to Iran war show us how countries like UAE instil loyalty in western migrants
When the US and Israel launched their strikes on Iran on February 28 and Iran retaliated by targeting the Gulf Arab states, I was closely monitoring social media accounts from the region. I research Middle East politics, with a focus on the Gulf, and the social media platforms I use are full of people living in the region – including western migrants, or as they tend to style themselves, expats. To my surprise, from many of them I saw the same message: “It is safe and normal here.” This was no...

Maryland sheriffs should not be handcuffed by reckless sanctuary politics
Last week, my organization, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), filed a federal lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland on behalf of 17 of Maryland’s 24 sheriffs challenging the state’s newly enacted "Community Trust Act."This so-called "trust" legislation is nothing less than a dangerous sanctuary mandate that deliberately obstructs cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities. We decided to represent these sheriffs bec...
Peter Mandelson could not solve Labour’s woes
The latest release of the Mandelson files tots up to more than 1,000 pages, an unappealingly lengthy text with the most boring title imaginable: “Update on the Government Response to the Humble Address Motion”.

Here is the irrepressible Peter Mandelson in unvarnished form, repeatedly badgering some of the biggest names in politics and government for...
