IN MOST OF the world this week our cover looked at the political gamble taken by France’s president, Emmanuel Macron.

In Britain, we made the case for Keir Starmer to be the next prime minister. After 14 years in power, the Conservatives face a massive defeat in the general election on July 4th. We argue that the Labour Party must form the next government because it has the greatest chance of tackling the biggest problem that Britain faces: a chronic and debilitating lack of economic growth.
