The US and China are shaping the world of 2026. Does Europe want to be a superpower too, able to shape its own future?
Britain has a huge stake in the answer. We left the EU, not Europe.
Our new paper out today sets out how Britain can be part of the solution:

🚨NEW EPISODE🚨
This week on Leading, @campbellclaret and @RoryStewartUK are joined by Clacton by-election candidate and intergalactic space warrior, @CountBinface.
He breaks down his manifesto, including his fully-costed plan for making a 99 Flake 99p, and answers: does he really think he can win against Nigel Farage?

Over the next few months, millions will tune in to watch inspirational women like Kelly Cates, Gabby Logan and Alex Scott lead the BBC’s World Cup coverage. Alex alone has 140 England caps. Let that sink in.
Meanwhile, Reform’s misogynistic by-election candidate Robert Kenyon apparently thinks he’d “rank higher” than a female presenter and former player. His credentials? Playing FIFA.
You honestly couldn’t make it up. This is the same party whose leader Nigel Farage called Andrew Tate an “important voice for men.”
Tells you everything you need to know.

Reform’s candidate in Makerfield said women have abortions for “vanity purposes.”
Prehistoric. Toxic. Misogynistic.
And Farage wants to put people like this in Parliament.
Robert Kenyon, who is running for Reform in the Makerfield by-election, once claimed women get abortions for "vanity purposes"

For decades, Westminster has overseen the managed decline of towns like mine. We have talked big, then acted small, stuck in a politics of incrementalism that cannot meet the moment. We have lost the trust of those our party was built to serve.
It is my unwavering belief that nothing short of urgent, radical, courageous reform will make a difference. That must start with a change in leadership.
Today, I am putting the people I represent and the country I love first and will be resigning as MP for Makerfield. I am standing aside so that Andy Burnham can return to his home, fight to re-enter Parliament, and if elected, drive the change our country is crying out for.
This has not been an easy decision. This is my family’s home, where only a few weeks ago, doctors and nurses at Wigan Infirmary saved our newborn son’s life.
But we all must make choices and in recent days I found myself with a difficult one: defend the status quo or step forward and act. I have made my choice.
I am in politics because politics is how you change lives for the better. My party has one last chance to do that: deliver for the people and places I represent, drive economic growth, secure our borders, reform our state and politics, and change a status quo that is not working.
That is the fight. I believe Andy is the one to lead it.

I’m sure having my photo shared in this derogatory way would be devastating if my motivation for getting a PhD was to impress this guy and women-hating friends.
Thankfully, it was not. So I can just laugh about it instead. 😊

Did you know cold water swimming can improve your immune system, metabolism, circulation and heart health? It can alleviate chronic pain and improve mental health and general wellbeing
And for women, research has shown considerable benefits in reducing PMS and peri-menopausal symptoms.

The Crown Prosecution Service does indeed have to give approval for police to charge suspects in serious crimes.
But where is the evidence that when Keir Starmer was Director of Public Prosecutions the CPS wrongly refused such consents in rape and child grooming cases? There is none.
On the contrary Starmer was pro-active in focussing on this type of crime as @nazirafzal has correctly highlighted. There may well have been failures to address this issue elsewhere through reporting and investigation but that is not the role of the CPS.
Baseless innuendo does not contribute to serous debate.

Elon Musk is a dangerous race baiter who must be held to account for his actions.
I can't think what it is that upsets him so much about a Brown, Muslim, progressive politician? 🤔 But his billions won't stop me calling out his support for the far-right.
