How the Trumpist world is projecting its own obsession with decline onto Europe
Published on December 5 by the American administration, the national security strategy – essentially the political manifesto of the MAGA movement – criticizes Europeans and reveals a narrow, exclusionary vision of Western civilization, one rooted in the traditional white family and in Christian identity.

I hope Labour MPs are watching out very carefully for how Starmer responds to today’s rally, and are resolved to do their utmost to bring about a change of leader - however difficult - if he fails the test. None of us have the luxury of indulging a weak PM when we are facing Fascism.
