Labour’s bonfire of planning regulations will stir up the shires and let down those most in need – but the construction lobby will be happy, says the Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

The Guardian - UK

It’s worrying to see the prime minister cheerleading for war. Will Ukraine turn into Starmer’s Iraq?

The Nato summit offered a chance to work towards resolution. But instead, Starmer talked about long-range missiles, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

A Tokyo developer will demolish a building for spoiling the view. Why doesn’t Britain care about beauty?

Politicians and planners are allowing the Thames to become an urban canyon – greed always seems to win out, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

The Guardian - UK

Cut Rishi Sunak some slack – his D-day blunder is hardly the worst thing he’s done

The real problem is how past wars are invoked not only to ramp up today’s defence spending, but to agitate for fresh conflict, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

The Guardian - UK

The country is sick of the Tories. The opposition promises change, but is too terrified to articulate what that might entail, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

The Guardian - UK

Memo to Keir Starmer: say change, change, change all you want, but soon our problems will be yours to fix

The government wants to scrap England’s 50% cap on ‘faith admissions’. It will just lead to religious discrimination, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins
