EXPLAINED: Gaby hinsliff - The Real Truth

Dehumanising politicians is the first step towards justifying their elimination. It matters more than ever to keep putting the person back into the picture, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

Burnham will have to master something Starmer couldn’t: the art of dealing with Donald Trump

The new PM will need a superb foreign secretary and the ability to get like-minded countries on board. Early signs suggest he may have the right skills, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

The Guardian - UK

Farage is on the brink but if he goes, Labour can’t rest easy: people still need something worth voting for

The Reform funding scandals could yet bring down its leader – and give Andy Burnham a head start. The biggest pitfall would be complacency, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

Andy Burnham has shown that he can win. But can he govern Britain?

Having literally campaigned in poetry, the new Makerfield MP needs a summer of knuckling down to the small print, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

The Guardian - UK

John Healey quitting defence puts a time bomb under No 10. He is a loyalist: this is no ordinary departure

He served through the eras of Blair, Brown, Miliband and Corbyn in a party that knows and respects him. It will matter that even his patience has run out, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

The Guardian - UK

Let this be a warning – if Europe worries about Trump, it has even more reason to fear JD Vance

His toxic Henry Nowak intervention fits a pattern. Vance has hard-right views, a disdain for European society – and he may yet become president, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

The Guardian - UK

Farage says woke kills – and the real, hard questions we could be asking are swamped by the culture war

What we must learn from the murders of Henry Nowak in Southampton and Barnaby Webber in Nottingham is that kneejerk assumptions either way are dangerous, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

We know what former SNP chief Peter Murrell bought with £400,000 of embezzled funds. What I’d like to know is why

His guilty plea means motive will for ever be a mystery. It just proves that the world can look as hard as it likes at someone’s marriage and never know what’s going on, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

Stigma around burnout must be challenged

Letters: Readers respond to the Green MP Carla Denyer’s decision to take time out from her work

The Guardian - UK

The curse of burnout Britain affects politicians as much as everyone else: give Carla Denyer a break

The Green MP’s decision to take time out has angered some – but many more will see endemic stress as a blight we must address, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

The Guardian - UK

What do the Married at First Sight rape claims tell us? That reality TV is sometimes all too real

The allegations of rape and sexual assault made by ‘brides’ on the show reflect what many other women experience. Sadly, so do the responses, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

The Guardian - UK

If Labour didn’t exist, would you invent it? Streeting, Rayner, Burnham – you need to tell us why

The party needs a leader who clearly understands the difficulties facing ordinary people. I am yet to see anyone obviously equal to that challenge, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

The Guardian - UK

Will Starmer’s old Labour tribute strategy rescue him from the abyss? Probably not, but there’s a logic to it

Gordon Brown and Harriet Harman offer experience and political craft, but to reap the benefits, the PM himself will have to change, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

The Guardian - UK

If Labour now decides the PM is no longer up to the job, there’s just one problem: neither is anyone else

Whoever leads Britain through the next three years may have to navigate a recession, even a war. The way we choose that person needs an urgent overhaul, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

My advice to Hannah Spencer? Before calling out MPs’ boozing, try to understand the reasons behind it

The new MP is right that parliament’s drinking culture is fundamentally weird. But to change it, we need to reset the whole institution, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

The Guardian - UK

It’s time MPs levelled with us: Britain is already at war, and we’ll need to do two things to survive it

Cyber-attacks, disinformation and blockading of supplies. This is what living in a war zone can look like now, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

Support Starmer and move on from Mandelson vetting row

Letters: Readers respond to the continuing saga around the appointment of the former US ambassador

The Guardian - UK

Two men made mistakes over Mandelson – only one has lost his job. That should haunt Starmer

As the bodies pile up and he continues to blame everyone but himself, respect for the prime minister is draining steadily away, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

Rudakubana, risk and parents’ responsibility

Letters: Readers respond to an article by Gaby Hinsliff in which she questions whether the Southport killer’s parents share responsibility for his crime

The Guardian - UK

Are Axel Rudakubana’s parents responsible for his terrible crime? It’s a question many families will fear to answer

Children could have been saved, had some of the adults involved acted differently. To protect lives in future, families must be able – and willing – to seek help, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

The Guardian - UK

Trump badly needs a way out of this war. Right now, that’s everyone’s problem

The looming shortage of medicines and fertiliser is only going to get worse with the latest US blockade. Europe and the UK need to step up diplomatically, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

The Guardian - UK

I baulked at the idea of ‘friction-maxxing’. But there’s more to it than meets the eye

Self-help hacks such as ‘cooking from scratch’ or ‘meeting your friends’ may seem ridiculous. But there’s something deeply human at the heart of this trend, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

The Guardian - UK

It’s the silver lining from this terrible age of Donald Trump: he is pushing Britain closer to the EU

Ten years after the Brexit vote, Trump’s disdain and insults are fuelling the belief that the UK should renew ties with Europe, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

The Guardian - UK

Never mind leading the free world, if Donald Trump were your ageing father, when would you take away his car keys?

Presidential decisions can mean life or death for millions around the world, that’s why constitutional safeguards exist. But do they work in practice? asks Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

The Guardian - UK

Ed Miliband’s stock is rising because he’s a rare commodity in Labour these days: a thinker

The party seems to have woken up to its need for an old-style intellectual heavyweight to counter the vacuousness of recent years, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff
