One – the father of my friend Guillaume – was Guillaume’s mother’s longtime lover until her recent death.

Opinion: The role of parliament in our democracy is declining, and it is no accidentFrom attacks on the BBC, civil service and the Treasury to not running immigration reforms past parliament, the centre of power is shifting Of course, it's declining. We've had a populist takeover that is openly assaulting every institution of our society to permanently skew it in their favour.
