Welcome to Wales, a country that has, for the first time in modern history, elected a nationalist, pro-independence government: Plaid Cymru. Labour – the party that had governed and dominated Welsh politics for more than a century – has fallen from first place to third. Cast out of office, its leader even lost her seat to the natio...
Lawless in Gaza
International law promises a bulwark against barbarism, or a better world, or both. Does it provide either, especially when we allow it to focus our attention on the inhumanity of violent warfare?

It’s so much worse than Tony Blair thinks
A golden rule in politics is that anything badged as “radical” or “bold” is the exact opposite. Tony Blair’s much publicised essay on the future of the country has left this rule safely intact. In keeping with the New Labour tradition, the essay calls for a transformation of the economy, but without fundamentally changing anything. Britain under Blair’s programme would still be geographically imbalanced, dependent on high-value service exports and global finance to sustain a standard of living t...
