That 90s Show , Blair's last Hurrah
By Ed Pond
Mr Blair has had too much attention in the last few days. That could be a bad thing because it advances his selfish cause, while damaging Labour's, especially in terms of those by-elections on the 23rd (date's not an omen, surely?). But does it really advance his cause?

John Mills: Labour has lost its roots
Before the EU referendum, many people thought that the outcome, whatever it might be going to be, was going to cause far more problems for the Conservative than the Labour Party. At least up to now, this is far from what has happened. Only one Tory MP, Kenneth Clark voted against Article 50 on 2nd February 2017 while 47 Labour MPs voted that way, showing how deep the divisions within the Labour Party over Brexit are at the moment.

John Mills: Labour’s failure to embrace the national mood on Brexit is costing it at the polls
When the general election took place in 2015, 9.3 million people voted Labour. When the EU referendum was held in June 2016, according to the most authoritative poll at the time, carried out by Lord Ashcroft, 37% of these labour voters – just under 3.5million of them - voted Leave. Subsequent polling showed that about half these people no longer intended to vote Labour in future, at least partly because of the Labour Party’s attitude to the EU.

Brexit and....Trump-an observation by Faye Lowley
This past week there's been a virtual revolution. We have seen Labour, including even Diane Abbott, succumbing to the people's will and refraining from blocking the passage of the Article 50 bill. Theresa May has been remarkably skillful in the drafting of this briefly worded bill and ensured that no amendments were passed. I am hopeful that the House of Lords will not try to obstruct its passage because they must also know that their future as a body hangs in the balance.

Won’t Get Fooled Again
By David Price
1992 saw the largest ever single transfer of power from British voters to unelected elites – when the United Kingdom left the friendly embrace of the European Community to try our luck as part of the supranational European Union. As we now know, it did not end well. Reel through the years – past Oasis, The Spice Girls, New Labour, the Iraq war, the credit crunch and a Tory toff-led coalition government – and here we are at yesterday’s 494 to 122 House of Commons vote to trigger Article 50, finally grabbing that sovereignty back.
