Starmer’s real enemy isn’t Farage, it’s economic stagnation, tax rises, botched Brexit, our overwhelmed NHS... Virtually none of which has been reversed since Labour took office last year, writes Andrew Adonis.

As the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, some Norwegians worried how President Trump would react to the decision and if there would be any potential repercussions to the country.

Mission creep. Flimsy reasoning by judges, casually expanding the notion of helping the "enemy" to cover helping any "unfriendly power". This is how the Official Secrets Act always threatens journalism. caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ewca/crim/20...
