With Labour abandoning its base through welfare cuts and warmongering, a genuine progressive alternative is urgently needed but must avoid any whiff of Trump infatuation syndrome and national populism, argues ANDREW MURRAY
SOME world events can look different to those of us in Berlin. God knows, here too I’m frightened at what Trump, Vance and Musk are doing and planning. Nor do I love Putin. But what I hate above all else is war, which is looks — and is closer over here.
I’m not a total pacifist, I see the need to fight back against Francos and against Hitlers. And yet I must always rejoice whenever slaughter and destruction can be stopped! Right now that means that I am hoping — yes, damn near praying — for a ceasefire and a negotiated end to the Ukraine war.
I can well understand the feelings of many patriotic Ukrainians on fighting back. And I can empathise with Americans and all the others who were appalled at the conduct of that dangerous clown Trump and his sidekick at their meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky, a meeting which looked carefully prepared.
