Tory leader advised by senior members not to align herself closely to the president-elect’s success

Kemi Badenoch is being urged not to “fall into a populist trap” by pulling the Conservative party too close to Donald Trump amid a mounting debate among senior Tories about how the party can learn from the president-elect’s decisive victory.

Badenoch used her first outing at prime minister’s questions as Tory leader to highlight the disparaging remarks made about Trump by foreign secretary David Lammy before suggesting Trump would be thanking the Labour activists who travelled to the US to campaign for Kamala Harris.

The Republican’s second presidential term heralds a more inward-looking US where resentment has replaced idealism and nobody wins without someone else losing

A dozen years ago – an eternity in American politics – the Republican party was reeling from its fourth presidential election loss in six tries and decided that it needed to be a lot kinder to the people whose votes it was courting.

No more demonising of migrants, the party resolved – it was time for comprehensive immigration reform. No more demeaning language that turned off women and minorities – it needed more of them to run for office.

With far-right parties gaining support across the globe, it is crucial we collaborate with our neighbours and restore faith in democracy

In the 1930s Antonio Gramsci, the Italian Marxist philosopher, warned that as the old order was dying, the new world was struggling to be born. In 2024, politics again strains, opening the doors to the chaos he feared. For too long, many have hoped that the rise of extremes could be ignored and the public would not be swayed. Following the US election, and as parties of the far-right gain support in Europe, all who cherish freedom must commit to fighting for a politics that unlocks talent not hatred. For us, that means the priority is the future relationship between the EU and the UK.

We cannot stand up for democracy and the rule of law if we do not value it – and the outcome of a ballot – even if we wouldn’t have voted the same way. President Trump must be given the respect to govern and the world must engage with him accordingly – but this does not mean we should be silent or complacent. In a cost of living crisis, a leader who threatens across-the-board tariffs risks damaging economic growth for us all. In a conflict crisis, a leader who sides with Vladimir Putin and encourages Benjamin Netanyahu to go beyond what he is already doing threatens peace everywhere. In a climate emergency, a leader who believes it is a hoax and green energy “a scam” endangers the planet for everyone.

Bestselling author Paula Hawkins set her new book on a fictional tidal island. Here she examines the power and appeal of islands

There is something about an island that stirs the imagination. Or, in any case, it seems to stir mine.

A few years ago, on a trip to the Côte de Granit Rose in Brittany, I walked along seaweed-strewn sands towards one of the many tidal islands dotted along that coastline. As I approached I noticed that on the nearest island, there was a tiny house – a single cottage, all alone – and I felt a familiar prickle running up my spine, the shrinking of the scalp that tells me to pay attention, that there’s something here: the beginning of a story.

Patrick Grant says not even luxury clothing labels care enough about quality any more

Earlier this year Patrick Grant, The Great British Sewing Bee presenter and clothes designer, criticised the poor quality of Marks & Spencer’s jumpers and socks – and now the luxury British heritage brand Burberry is in his line of fire.

Speaking at an event organised by the Design Council last week, Grant had a simple message for the audience: “Most people who sell you clothes do not give a stuff about the quality.”
