Letter of the week
Dear Editor
You have always shared your opinions so openly on TCW, and you have helped form and strengthen some of my own. But today, I wake up politically homeless: Starmer is ruining the country, Kemi Badenoch is unimpressive, and Reform are fighting. What happens next?

Happiness over corporate success
Dear Editor
I have always despised International Women’s Day despite being a woman. I really enjoyed, though, Richard Morrissey’s reframing of it. It is not about success; it is about everyone being happy and doing well in their own right and world. A great article.

A king who undermines his kingdom
Dear Editor,
Thank you for the article series ‘Trump and the end of the Long Twentieth Century’. I think I now understand what the ‘Open Society’ is all about.
King Charles has made it clear by his statements and actions that he favours the ‘Open Society’ and its ideology that seeks the elimination of nation states.
The foundational myth of the United Kingdom monarchy is that the right to rule descends directly from the Christian God; a king serves no purpose without a kingdom to rule over.
As Charles doesn’t believe in the primacy of the Christian God and seeks the abolition of his kingdom, he surely, in all conscience, must abdicate.

The unemployed youth of today
Dear Editor
The number of 16-to-24-year-olds not in work or education has hit an 11-year high of nearly one million. This is shocking. Even more shocking are the numbers of both legal and illegal migrants and asylum seekers being allowed into the UK. The 850,000 long-term visas issued will have serious implications for housing, services, the NHS and integration. Surely it would be better getting the 16-to-24-year-olds into employment and not rely on immigration?
Immigration will result in a population increase of five million by 2032 and ten million by 2047. Unsustainable. All of the increase will be from migration and the children born to migrants. People cause greenhouse gases, so where are the climate apostles when you need them to point out that immigration both legal and illegal makes UK Net Zero 2050 not only mega-expensive but impossible. It is obvious that politicians are only in their job for their own good, not for the good of the country.

‘Blink and you’ll miss it’ politics
Dear Editor
A week is a long time in politics. Last week, many were waking up to the fact that Zelenskyy might not be the hero they had imagined. This week, Trump has impressed yet again by following through and taking decisive action despite always being criticised. At the time of writing, Reform, the great British hope, seems at war with itself. What on earth will happen next week?
