Remembrance Day
He Khan’t do anything wrong
The Mayor of London faces little accountability for problems in the city
Israel, Gaza and the realities of war
If the violence is to end, a political solution must come from within
The new reality of remembrance
We have lost a chance to build a more united narrative
Ban the protest
Against the pathology of tolerance
What we have forgotten
Modernity as a collective act of amnesia
Unmaking history
Stripping a people of its identity and history is the prerequisite to control
Why we must remember
The notion that freedom comes at a price seems to be one that escapes us
Time to forget?
Remembrance day is like an arts and craft spin-off of the Great British Bake-Off

Not another Armistice Day to get through. And what about all the other pressing issues for which there is no poppy?
From the monstrous to the grotesque
Hitler’s cult of charismatic leadership is indistinguishable from the ideology of National Socialism
The meaning of depoliticisation
How the establishment made political questions unanswerable
How H&W hit the iceberg
The opportunism and ineptitude that brought Belfast’s shipbuilding industry to its knees
The problem with petty scandals
They distract us from state failure and institutional decay
Two cheers for pedestrianisation
Pedestrianisation cannot solve all of Oxford Street’s problems
Light in the darkness
In conversation with Nigel Biggar about his career and the work of the Pharos Foundation
Fabian fry-up
After last night’s disco, a very hungover conference is ready for a hearty plate of social democracy
Why young men like Donald Trump
He cuts through the sterility and severity of modern life
The Critic guide to glass ceilings
On the self-made men (and women!) of the Labour Party
Landscapes of allusion and illusion
On the architecture of recreation
On the King’s Road to ruin
The decline of commerce on Chelsea’s celebrated street is a worrying sign for London
