What are the Lib Dems for? They must champion localism to stay relevant in an age of single-issue politics | Simon Jenkins (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ed Davey’s party are the obvious candidates to push for the deeper local democracy the public is crying out for September is the cruellest month for political commentators because it is when something has to be said about the Liberal Democrats. They are a play without a plot, a chorus line of seemingly endless “don’t knows”. Their leader, Ed Davey, recently warned that “we’re in the fight of our lives” to defend the values of liberty and equality. Really? How can this be when Davey is becoming a
Slowly then all at once: this emboldened Celtic alliance could spell the end of the UK | Simon Jenkins (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s something akin to a quiet earthquake: home nations jointly declaring their wish to be freed from English domination. A big move needs a big response Monday must have been a historical first. Never before have three of the four “nations” of the United Kingdom jointly demanded freedom to vote for its dissolution. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have lost confidence in England. They declared in Cardiff that the unionist government at Westminster is “coming to an end”. There was no such Ce
Wake up, Britain: Donald Trumpâs US is no friend of ours. We must secure our own place in the world | Simon Jenkins (opens the original)

So said Donald Trump in Texas on Wednesday in advance of the forthcoming midterm elections.
Britainâs schools are failing its young people â and 1m Neets are paying the price | Simon Jenkins (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Obsessed with exams, devoid of vocational training: there is a total mismatch between schools and life beyond their gates Blame the schools. Alan Milburnâs report on Neets, published in May, was one of the most damning comments on the welfare state I have read. It described a new generation of a million mostly poor Britons now encouraged to fare worse, not better, than their parents. This means, said Milburn, that âthe great British promiseâ â the advance of generations â is being brok
Ukrainian cathedrals, Gazaâs archives, Iranian squares â modern war is systematically erasing human history | Simon Jenkins (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It is not enough now for war to kill, it must eradicate a peopleâs cherished and precious heritage too Wars may not take summer holidays, but they do sometimes see exhaustion. As drones race back and forth across Ukraine and the strait of Hormuz, a grim stalemate seems to have invaded the earth beneath. Aerial bombardment knows limited resistance and even less victory or defeat. Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Iran and their allies seem able to defy diplomacy and drop bombs on each other for ever. At
