a media service provided by New Statesman A digest of all today’s essential comment and opinion TODAY'S SUMMARY A council house is still a home 05 August 2010 Britain must be coherent on who gets to occupy social housing, says Ross Clark in the Times, and regulate the private rental market to encourage council tenants to move out. In the Guardian, however, Lynsey Hanley rails against David Cameron's comments on lifetime tenancy, which ignores the fact that a council house is still a home. In the same paper, Seumus Milne warns that the US is not withdrawing from Iraq at all -- it is rebranding the occupation. Over at the Telegraph, Con Coughlin criticises the Pakistani president, Asif Ali Zardari, for putting his own political interests above his people by continuing his European trip. Finally, in the New York Times , Thomas Friedman endorses the decision to build a mosque two blocks from the twin towers site, which sends a powerful message of inclusion and openness.   CATEGORIES > UK Politics > International Politics > Economics & Business > Security & Defence > Environment > Science & Technology > Culture, Media & Sport > Health, Family & Society > Education > Human Rights, Law, Justice   If you would rather not receive this email, please unsubscribe from the list.
