FURIOUS Labour MPs have lashed out at Jeremy Corbyn's calls for a second referendum warning 4.5million Labour Brexit voters will NEVER forgive him for it. Voting to overturn the refer

NATO has started 2019 with yet another round of growing divisions between the U.S. and Europe over what are meaningless arguments about burdening sharing. It is time to put an end to one of the most pointlessly divisive debates in NATO's history, and focus on what is really needed to deter Russia and deal effectively with the key threat to Western security. The United States and its European allies have fixated on one of the most meaningless and truly stupid strategic debates in modern history... Читать дальше...

Maduro's supporters in government claim they are united behind him. But some suggest that the Chavista leadership can and even should change. Is there room for compromise?

Pieter Cleppe, Spectator
As 29 March gets nearer and Theresa May tries to get a Brexit deal through parliament, preparations for no deal continue in both London and mainland Europe. It's been well-documented that the UK
