Democracies don't have some god-given right to prevail. Great nations can descend into autocracy, and more - throughout history - great civilisations have been known to crumble practically overnight. 80 years of peace and relative prosperity have lulled millions into believing it all immutable.

Attacking Iran fits with Trump’s desire to divert attention from his failures at home: his losses in the courts, his unpopular budget bill, millions of people protesting against his authoritarianism. When he feels humiliated, he gets reckless. Understand what's going on.

Nine years on, Brexit is widely seen as a failure. Most Britons would now vote to rejoin. Even Leave voters are turning. Brexit has hurt the economy, businesses, and public finances. The public has moved on. Time for politics to catch up.

Farage and the far right in general come from a grievance culture. If you do what they want, even maximally – Brexit – they’ll move the goalposts and keep moaning. If you engage seriously with their concerns, they’ll find new ones. You will never satisfy them, because they don’t want to be satisfied
