Britain's Labour Party Needs to Listen to Its Social Conscience
But whether by preference or distracted by such concerns, social evils which used to fire up the liberal-left conscience — class inequality, lack of economic opportunity and cohesive societies — have been in danger of being overlooked or even downgraded. In the UK, a horrific, decades-long scandal of grooming and rape gangs of mainly Pakistani Muslim men who preyed on young white women has revealed the pitfalls of this lopsided approach.

Trump says he will meet with Zelenskyy after "very successful day" with Putin
President Donald Trump said he will meet with Ukranian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House on Monday afternoon to discuss an agreement "which would end the war" between Russia and Ukraine. The Truth Social post came about half a day after Mr. Trump met with Russian president Vladimir Putin in Alaska. Mr. Trump said the meeting with Putin "went very well." He also said the meeting was followed by a "late night phone call" with Zelenskyy and other European leaders, including Mark Rutte, the secretary general of NATO. "It was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a Peace Agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere Ceasefire Agreement, which often times do not hold up," Mr. Trump said. Mr. Trump did not share any details of the agreement. He said Zelenskyy would join him in the Oval Office on Monday afternoon to discuss the proposal. "If it all works out, we will then schedule a meeting with President Putin," Mr. Trump said. "Potentially, millions of people's lives will be saved." This is a developing news story and will be updated.

After Alaska Summit, Europeans Are Relieved, for Now
After the much-ballyhooed summit in Alaska, anxious Europeans (including Ukrainians) can let out their bated breath. President Trump did not agree to hand over chunks of Ukraine to President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, at least not yet, or to limit European aid to Kyiv. Still, in comments after the meeting, Mr. Trump lavishly praised Mr. Putin and again put the onus for a deal on President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine. After all, Mr. Trump said, 'Russia is a very big power, and they're not,' he told Fox News, referring to Ukraine. 'Now it is really up to President Zelensky to get it done,' he added. 'I would also say the European nations have to get involved a little bit.' Whether he meant that the Europeans should also pressure Ukraine to come to terms or that they should provide further aid and assurances to Kyiv was not clear. Mr. Zelensky said on Saturday that he would meet Mr. Trump in Washington on Monday. But the outcome of the short Alaska meeting, with more talks to come, reveals an underlying problem for the Europeans. They have no strategy of their own for bringing the war to a close, let alone for defeating Moscow. Instead, they have been racing to keep up with the variable stances of Mr. Trump, trying to hold him to certain red lines that protect Ukrainian sovereignty and European security. For Mr. Trump, the war in Ukraine, which he consistently blames on Mr. Zelensky, is an obstacle to his desired relationship with Mr. Putin. But for Europe, the fate of Ukraine is of strategic importance. If Ukraine collapses, European military and political leaders predict a Russian effort to test NATO in the following few years. If a militarized Russia can be held off — or even beaten back — it may end or retard Mr. Putin's ambitions to upend the post-Cold War order and recreate the Soviet empire. Want all of The Times?
