    Opinion: Biden needs to stand up to Texas’ immigration extremism

    CNN Opinion by Lawrence Downes (CNN) — It’s been a week of whiplash for people wondering whether Texas is going to be getting its own foreign policy. That is, whether it will be able to enforce SB 4, the extreme anti-immigration law that Gov. Greg Abbott signed last December. It empowers the state’s police and judges to arrest, lock up and

  • Opinion: One Trump puppet stands between Ukraine and the aid it needs

    Speaker Mike Johnson in just months has all but cemented his place among the weakest House leaders in its history. Alas, the Louisianan nonetheless holds enough power that he’s single-handedly blocking one of the most crucial matters of our time: bipartisan U.S. aid to Ukraine for its defense against Vladimir Putin’s murderous expansionism.

  • Britain doesn’t need ‘reform’. It just needs to rejoin the EU

    Well-intentioned moves are afoot to ‘overhaul the machinery of government’. But it’s the policies that are the problemIt was Dr Johnson, not Boris Johnson, who declared “patriotism is a last refuge of the scoundrel”. Some years have passed since Johnson, Shirley Williams and I were guests of an institute outside Moscow. We were there to explain what we hoped were the wonders of western democracy – the freedom, the politics and the economic policies – to Russian politicians and academics who were...

  • JULIE ELLIOTT MP: We need a sustainable future for football – we need an Independent Regulator

    Football is the centre of so many communities up and down the UK, not least here in Sunderland – the club, and the Foundation, do amazing work in the community, supporting young people to play the sport, to access education and get the skills they need. The club is one of the first features that people think of when they think about the city. It is clear though, from the European Super League fiasco, to the increasing number of clubs at risk of liquidation, and the recent Financial Fair Play...
