A dividing line Abortion hostility could return to haunt Trump's party in 2024
Republicans beware - abortion retains its saliency. As a corollary, Joe Biden is down but not out. On election day last week, voters in Ohio, Virginia and Kentucky embraced individual autonomy and reproductive rights. Looking forward, the US supreme court's decision in the Dobbs case and the Trumpian majority's rejection of privacy as a fundamental constitutional right stand to haunt Trump and his party as they enter the 2024 election season.

California dreaming Could Gavin Newsom be a rival to Biden?
One of the strongest candidates for US president in 2024 may be one who's not yet in the race.

Resurrected Former PM has experience, but appointment is not without risk
There is a danger that Lord Cameron, with six years' experience as prime minister and umpteen world summits under his belt, as opposed to Rishi Sunak's single year, will be tempted not just to dominate foreign policy but to stray out of his lane and give very broad advice to his boss.

Bogged down Aswinter draws in, the talk grows of stalemate and a long conflict
The Ukrainian counteroffensive has stalled, with progress on the two principal axes on the southern front modest since it began on 4 June. Kyiv's forces have advanced about 10km south of Velyka Novosilka and 9km south of Orikhiv and there appears no prospect of a breakthrough as the weather turns.

Spirit levels The ancient tipple that led to a craft liquor boom
Sheltered in the shade of a mango tree entwined with peppercorn vines, a vast clay pot sits on top of a fire, its lid sealed tight with mud. Distilling within is India's oldest alcoholic spirit, said to date back almost 500 years.

Cruel performative policies are being used as a smokescreen
This week, Britain's supreme court was due to give its verdict on the Rwanda deportation scheme. The decision will clearly have a major impact on those who face deportation. It will have an impact, too, on the political debate about immigration.
