To me it is obvious that no other problems (especially the issue of climate change) can really be solved until the wars stop. The most any of my friends do is to organise a culture event to celebrate Republic Day, once a year. People who care about Europe’s drift to the right need to take the conversation to the streets and engage beyond their immediate cosy circle. Gillian HomeriWallasey, MerseysideThe success of the National Rally party in France and the Tories’ flirtation with Reform UK hold similar warnings of the danger of the drift to the far right. What Starmer is saying will be enough to win the election, but is it enough to move the momentum away from the far right following it?
