Opinion: Reporters Are Asking the Wrong Questions About Labour’s Freebie Fiasco

Adam Ramsay

Journalists shouldn’t be asking government ministers why they accepted luxury gifts. They should be asking why they were given them in the first place, writes Adam Ramsay.

Ash Sarkar

The prime minister could be fighting for a new, inclusive model of Britishness - and defining his political project in the process. Instead, he’s retreated to his comfort zone: meetings, minutes and specialist units, writes Ash Sarkar.
