Ten must-read blogs

  1. The left struggled to understand Margaret Thatcher. When it finally did, the result was New Labour
    The New Statesman was at the forefront of anti-Thatcher campaigning. But in common with much of the left, it never properly understood the forces she unleashed. By Jason Cowley

    We celebrate 100 years with the largest single issue of the magazine in its history.
    By New Statesman

    "I hate feminism. It is poison," she reportedly told her adviser Paul Johnson. By Helen Lewis

  4. Miliband's lost welfare intervention
    Everyone waited for the Labour leader to say something on welfare. He did but (for obvious reasons) no one noticed. By Rafael Behr

  5. Cameron's embrace of Thatcher's mantle has been a disaster for the Tories
    In opposition, Cameron recognised the profound limits of Thatcher's approach. But in office he has retreated into dogmatism. By George Eaton

  6. "Troubled families tsar" admits there aren't 120,000 troubled families
    Families in trouble are not the same as families causing trouble.
    By Alex Hern

  7. How the pundits are becoming more influential than the politicians
    As Owen Jones and Evan Harris show, you can make more headway pushing your agenda from the TV studios in Millbank than the green benches over the road. By Richard Morris

  8. Don't use Mick Philpott's case as a stick to bash polyamory
    I'm in a relationship with three men and it's nothing like the controlling, coercive hold that Mick Philpott had over his wife and mistress. By Charlie Hallam

  9. Are attacks on goths, heavy metal fans and other "subcultures" hate crimes?
    A legal and bureaucratic scheme that privileges some types of hate crime as special while ignoring others is dangerous in itself. By By Nelson Jones
