The offer contained in Trump's national security doctrine - to turn Britain into one of Washington's satellite states in a Europe partitioned between Russian and American spheres of influence - is not one that any truly patriotic politician should accept. It is easy to see the appeal for Farage, as a fellow traveller of the Maga project. For Badenoch it presents an important dividing line, albeit one that Conservatives cannot see or dare not name. It is the difference between an opposition party that is loyal to British democracy, and one that would serve a foreign despot and call it resistance.
Tories βwonβt go on the record saying Farage is unfit to lead the country, even if they suspect it to be true, because they also suspect they may be propping up his government, or pleading for jobs in it, by the end of the decadeβ
They never stop letting us down.

American fears about 'civilisational erasure'
2 of 5 letters - all similar in opinion
Sir, The Trump administration has officially declared that demographic change will make Europe unrecognisable, as Melanie Phillips notes (Trump is calling for Europe to save itself", Dee 9). Yet it is President Trumps dystopian world view that is unrecognisable for most democrats across Europe, as the transatlantic alliance has done so much to shape the world in which we live. As Phillips herself points out, the central irony of the new Trump doctrine is that it combines a commitment to regime change among democratically elected governments in Europe with an entirely hands-off approach to co-existence with its authoritarian allies in Vladimir Putins Kremlin.
Britain and Europe will have to take
more responsibility for peace, prosperity and democracy while this new turn in US politics lasts. We can take some solace in the fact that this offer to import the Trump and Vance doctrine into our own politics is something we will get to decide for ourselves at the ballot box.

Sir, I find the fixation on migration, particularly Muslim migration, troubling on many levels. To start with, Muslim birthrates will decline with increased European education; educating women achieves that.
Second, this is not the first time a Middle Eastern religion has travelled west: Christianity did it, with levels of resentment along the way. In these (one hopes) more enlightened times, religion will hold less sway than it did then. I cannot help but feel that this current attitude stems from a rather pathetic minority of "white" supremacists whose misplaced and erroneous superiority is under threat;
hence the talk of "civilisational erasure" and other nonsense. These turbulent times call for tolerance, not the demonisation produced by a narrow and self-demeaning tribalism.

Labour claims its racism is "compassionate" and "progressive". They claim that it is the "will of the people". They ignore experts, they ignore those affected, they ignore the harm caused or the way in which their policies and rhetoric are emboldening the far-right, rather than countering it. 4/7
