Theresa May heads to Brussels this weekend to finalise the Brexit negotiations – but is there any cause to celebrate, or has she left behind an irrevocably toxic legacy? Is Beto O’Rourke the saviour of the Democratic Party, or is he a sign that they are in a funk? And are middle-class parents too obsessed with their children’s education?
First, in what state will Theresa May, the seemingly unassailable Prime Minister, leave the Conservative Party? She might have just overcome a Tory rebellion, but the divisions she leaves will be felt for many years to come. James Forsyth argues in this week’s cover piece that she has exacerbated divisions between Scottish and English Tories, between Remainers and Brexiteers, and what’s more, she has not taken back sovereignty in her Brexit deal, ensuring that the issue of Europe will continue to tear the Conservatives apart.
