Attacks on Iran: this is going to spread The US and Israeli assault on Iran has the potential to escalate into a broader international conflict. Not only that, but Trump has put the entire global economy in danger

Retaliation is structurally embedded in the Islamic Republic’s doctrine of deterrence. The only uncertainty is its scale – and how many borders it will cross

Charles Kushner, the worst diplomat in the world Charles Kushner – Jared’s dad – spent two years in jail after secretly filming his brother-in-law with a prostitute. So naturally Donald Trump made him ambassador to France. It’s been a disaster

“Kush” had notoriously arranged for a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, who was cooperating in the election contributions case against him. Now he has been rehabilitated as Trump’s ambassador to France

The lose-lose politics of dealing with Trump The German chancellor is in Washington meeting Trump, a man who sees Europe as irrelevant, who supports Merz’s opponents and who is political poison. What can he hope to gain?

Dear Matt Goodwin, why are you such a bad loser? The Reform candidate in Gorton and Denton tried to blame “woke” ideology and “Islamism” for his by-election defeat. Might it be that actually, he and his politics are just not very appealing?

Pride is a brittle thing. One minute you’re soaring, the insurgent party’s tenacious rising-star, the voice of the “forgotten majority.” Next, the majority turns out to be a lot smaller than you were led to believe

The awful truth: why America hates white women They’re the single largest demographic group in America and arguably the most politically influential – yet they seem to attract the ire and contempt of political figures from all sides

White women are often portrayed as the crucial swing voters of American politics, but in reality they tend to break fairly solidly for the Republican presidential candidate – even when it’s one as violently misogynistic as Donald Trump

Alastair Campbell's diary: I’m in Ukraine, a nation let down by America Four years after the all out invasion, Ukrainians want more than just warm words. They want real help to end this war. Trump isn’t going to give it – so it’s down to us

You might imagine hope is not an easy commodity to find in a place that has been on the receiving end of Putin’s war machine for four years, with over 100,000 Ukrainians dead and half a million injured

Marjorie Taylor Greene: MAGA’s No.1 heretic She supported Trump, the January 6 riots and spouted antisemitic conspiracy theories. Now she’s renounced the president and appears on liberal chat shows – but is her conversion all it appears?

Even now, amid her anti-Trump turn, the conspiratorial reflex remains. In the wake of the Epstein files drop, she reposted a suggestion that the sex trafficker was alive and “playing Fortnite in Israel"
