Has Ed Miliband found himself on the wrong side of history? In this week’s View from 22 podcast, James Forsyth discusses his Spectator cover feature on the plight of progressives with John Harris. With threats from the SNP, Greens and even Russell Brand, Ed Miliband is stuck in a corner, trying to figure out what the Labour Party stands for If he doesn’t, the death spiral will continue.
With one week to go until the Rochester and Strood by-election, Isabel Hardman examines how Ukip is trouncing the Conservatives in the campaign, putting them on course to have a second MP. The Tories’ swagger earlier in the campaign appears to be hurting them now.
And Fraser Nelson looks at how marriage is becoming a past time for the rich with Julie Bindel. Is this shift the fault of government policy or a sign of growing inequality across the rest of society?
