Do the British left’s hopes lie with the Greens, Labour or even Your Party? The answer could be all three | Joe Todd
No single organisation can deliver the change that socialists want. As Nigel Farage has shown, politics has to be ruthlessly tactical For the long-marginalised British left, parliamentary byelections aren’t usually cause for much excitement. But Gorton and Denton is different. Polls, bookmakers and tactical-voting websites name the Greens as the close-run favourites, and thousands of activists have been knocking on doors for “Hannah the plumber”, a popular local councillor and proud owner of fou

Mandelson’s downfall is one of fastest ever seen in British public life
Links to Jeffrey Epstein have taken political operator from a vaunted position in British diplomacy to arrest in under six months Just six months ago Peter Mandelson seemed unassailable as the UK’s ambassador to the US, one of the most vaunted positions in British diplomacy.

The former ambassador, now under arrest, has had plenty of ups and downs in his career of more than 40 years in the Labour party Peter Mandelson arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office After a four-decade career that included some of the top jobs in politics, Peter Mandelson has undergone a spectacular fall from grace.
