Readers who write are one of the greatest strengths of The Daily Telegraph. You keep journalists in touch with what is happening in the real world, beyond the PRhype andhandouts. So I must begin my final blog in this space by thanking those of you who tipped me off about so many City scandals over [...]How much more must Spain suffer for the sake of the Brussels elites?

Nowhere is the failure of the euro clearer than in Spain. A country which was running a budget surplus going into the crash has been reduced to penury and squalor by the determination of its own political class, and Europes, to maintain the monetary union at any cost. Who has gained? Bankers and Eurocrats. Who [...]We need to talk about Islamism

If I had slept through yesterday, woken up this morning, and gone online, I might have thought the EDL beheaded someone yesterday. There is a lot of displacement on Twitter and FB, as if its all too politically difficult and socially awkward to talk about the killers ideology, or the place of religion in that [...]Evening Briefing: After the horror, the blame

Murder in Woolwich: was this gruesome beheading the work of serious jihadis or demented young men using Islam as an excuse for their psychotic fantasies? And will we see more incidents like this as religious extremism and an anti-Muslim backlash grows in our cities?

What can we do to prevent the kind of atrocity that happened in Woolwich yesterday from happening again? So far, attention has focused on the security services, but theres clearly not much that MI5 or the police can do. How do you stop home grown terroristscarrying out seemingly random attacks on off-duty soldiers? Any long-term [...]Obama administration calls London terror attack ‘senseless violence’ – the same language President Obama used over Benghazi

The US State Department has issued a statement in the aftermath of yesterdays barbaric killing of a British soldier by Islamist militants in Woolwich. It reads in full: The United States condemns todays attack in the Woolwich district of London. We stand with our U.K. allies in the face of such senseless violence. Our thoughts [...]MI5 has some explaining to do if the Woolwich attackers were known threats

If, as now seems likely, the two terrorists who carried out the barbaric machete attack on a British soldier in Woolwich were known to MI5, then senior officers at the Security Service are going to have a lot of explaining to do. While David Cameron this morning refused to be drawn on whether the two [...]
