TODAY'S SUMMARY
Ed Miliband can win liberals back for Labour
03 September 2010
In the Independent, Johann Hari argues that Ed Miliband should be elected Labour leader, citing his appeal to middle- and low-income voters, his opposition to the war in Iraq and his principled attempt to tackle climate change. Elsewhere, in the Financial Times, Martin Wolf says that Ed Balls is right to argue that the coalition's dramatic spending cuts do not inspire confidence, but undermine it. Writing in the Guardian, Michael White says that William Hague's statement on his private life may have been honest but it was also naïve. In international politics, the New York Times'sGail Collins tells the tale of how Sarah Palin became the unofficial president of right-wing America. And finally, in Slate, James Ledbetter explains why immigration can help America fix its sagging economy.
