Editor's Choice

Five must-read pieces from the magazine

  1. Miliband doesn't need freeing from the clutches of the Blairites - he has chosen this path himself
    The Labour leader wants to keep his party united but he also wants to win an election. The two ambitions inevitably collide. By Rafael Behr

  2. Whether we like it or not, the settlers have won. The two-state solution is now impossible
    Whether we're willing to admit it or not, Israel's the Palestinian "peace process" is dead. There's no hope of any success for a two-state solution. By Mehdi Hasan

  3. Eric Joyce on Unite in Falkirk, life in the Westminster wilderness and "the whacking"
    An interview with the former Labour MP for Falkirk. By Caroline Crampton

  4. The zombies of Mayfair
    Private equity firms and hedge funds with their hidden fees don't just skew markets - they often aren't even very good. So why is your pension probably invested with one? By Nicholas Shaxson

  5. Nelson Mandela's greatness may be assured - but not his legacy
    Mandela, too, fostered crony relationships with wealthy whites from the corporate world, including those who had profited from apartheid. By John Pilger

Five must-read blogs

    Unlike the Conservatives, a Labour government would make sustainable energy a major national priority and give business the confidence to invest. By Ed Balls

  2. There's no sexism in gaming
    Why don't you just enjoy the fantasy? Games are a special medium, completely separate from our wider culture and any attempt to put them in context is just insulting. By Cara Ellison

  3. How the Labour leadership result changes under a one-member-one-vote system
    Had MPs' votes been treated in the same way as party members', Ed Miliband would have won a landslide victory. By George Eaton

  4. How to be a feminist in hot weather
    From street harassment to hot pants to barbecuing, Rhiannon and Holly will help you survive the sweaty season with your feminist ideals intact. By Rhiannon and Holly

  5. Clegg should take the high ground with Miliband and shame the Tories into action
    If he wants to solve his party's funding problems, the Lib Dem leader should form an alliance with Labour. By Richard Morris

£15 tickets for 4 star production 'Address Unknown' at Soho Theatre!

A timeless tale of friendship and betrayal. In an era of austerity, recession and rising nationalism, two friends in the 1930s are torn apart, the Nazi regime infiltrating their friendship and families to devastating effect. An exciting and provocative hour of theatre about loyalty and betrayal, based on the bestselling book by Kathrine Kressmann Taylor. Written as an anti-fascist call to arms and banned in 1930s Germany for dramatically exposing the threat of Nazism, Address Unknown is a timely warning of how humanity can fail in the face of extreme ideology.
