Soldiers tend to be much more down on war than those who send them into it, writes Juliet Jacques, as even the briefest look at their poetry will testify. As those who witnessed the misery of war pass away, hawkish politicians are seizing control of the narrative.

Opinion: Like It or Not, New Labour Offers Important Lessons for Saving the NHS

Ell Folan

Though rightly overshadowed by the Iraq War, the Blair government increased NHS spending by 56% and cut waiting times by 9 weeks. We must not be too averse to learning from this achievement, writes Ell Folan - our dying health service depends on it.
