When push came to shove, they elected Mr Trump as their 47th President – perhaps the most dramatic comeback in the nation’s political history. Donald Trump's reputation seemed to lie in tatters, yet the …

“But the point is that those men who feel fit as a fiddle have underlying conditions they’re completely oblivious of,” he said, adding that it would be down to the NHS to get better at singling out those at risk of disease.

LONDON: Britain’s Labour Party swept to power Friday after more than a decade in opposition, as a jaded electorate handed the party a landslide victory — but also a mammoth task of reinvigorating a stagnant economy and dispirited nation.

Boris Johnson’s surprise last-minute appearance at a Conservative election rally in London was not a sign of the party’s strength or unity, but a reminder of its weakness, divisions and sheer desperation. Sunak’s claim that Johnson’s appearance showed that “our Conservative family” is “united” was stretching it. His attacks on Keir Starmer and Nigel Farage – “Don’t let the Putinistas …

What a difference five years makes. Then, the SNP ended Labour’s dominance in Scotland by reducing it from 40 seats to one at the 2015 general election. “The SNP has gone from saying, ‘There’s no point in voting Labour because it can’t win at Westminster’ to saying, ‘There’s no point because it will win’,” one senior Labour figure told me. …

A tale of two speeches, by Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer, kicked off what party strategists call the “long campaign” for the general election.

I think Rishi Sunak did the right thing for the country by bringing in a bill to raise the legal age for buying tobacco.

Rishi Sunak can’t win – in every sense of the phrase. When competence didn’t bring immediate rewards last year, a panicky Sunak tried other tactics – such as presenting himself as the change candidate. Combined with talking up an improving economy, it’s his best shot; one ray of hope in Downing Street is that one in five 2019 Tory voters …

Sometimes it is extraordinarily easy to spot a political party’s tactics, and the Conservatives’ reliance on “wedge” issues is becoming a little embarrassing. Instead of wanting to talk about nurses’ pay or cutting waiting lists, Steve Barclay, the health secretary, wants to stoke up an argument about “sex specific” language and trans patients on hospital wards. Thus, on the same …
