Europe has to address people's needs directly and reflect their priorities, not our own preoccupations.

I understand why the Tories will be gunning for Alastair Campbell because they fear his campaigning skills.

Europe lacks leadership and a sense of mission and too many people don't feel a part of it.

In my experience of these things, parties which shout about dirty tricks and the like tend to do so because they fear a direct hit in some vulnerable part of their political anatomy.

It's a very good idea that we have a third term Labour government led by Tony Blair for a full term.

They want to derail peace because they want to plunge Northern Ireland back into armed conflict.

Of course, the EU is not going to fall apart, but at best it will stagnate for the foreseeable future and we will be dealing with quite a lot of internal chaos.
