John Gray's article on Franz Kafka (The Critics, 24 May) raises interesting questions about humanity and society. There's a huge amount everyone can learn from Kafka's life, and lives like [...]

Your editorial endorsing Labour (Leader, 28 June) is wise. I, too, wouldn't have endorsed a Labour vote in 2019, owing to the party's far-left anti-Semitism and dismay at the then [...]

Andrew Marr is correct that the Telegraph has begun a smear campaign against Rishi Sunak (Cover Story, 26 January). It is laying the groundwork for a campaign on the next [...]

Phil Whitaker's column about the new Covid wave (Health Matters, 8 September) shows the danger of the government, alongside most of the British media, acting as if Covid no longer [...]

Andrew Marr is right (Culture Notes, 10 February): the 'idiot rich' are taking over our big cities. This isn't new. The flats being 'overlooked' by the Tate Modern are a [...]

I agree with your view on Germany, (Leader, 27 January). I appreciate and respect Germany for its generosity to refugees, its social liberalism and its generally pro-Israel stance. But for [...]

I learned much about the etymology of 'woke' from Stuart McGurk's very interesting article in your Christmas special (Reporter at Large, 9 December). However, I remain unconvinced that the beast [...]

Reflecting on your leader on the Qatar World Cup (25 November), what saddens me about the event is the resigned, dismissive moral relativism. The values of equality, fairness and justice [...]

Tomiwa Owolade (These Times, 9 September) is right: the establishment has 'failed to uphold its side of the bargain' for the young. But the young need to acknowledge the injustice [...]

Your Leader (21 January) is right. For merely 40P a day, the public is funding an institution in the BBC that, while flawed, remains the best of British broadcasting, and [...]

I have just read Nicholas Lezard's column on the death of his friend the Moose (Down and Out, 21 May) and I must say I found it immensely moving. Indeed, [...]

Philip Collins's column on the government's proposed aid cuts is incredibly important (The Public Square, 5 March). He is absolutely right that the extraordinarily large cut in aid to Yemen [...]

Thank you for your poignant, necessary edition on the disaster of the Covid-19 death toll ('The Lost', 29 January), which underlined the stark numbers--more than 100,000 people have died in [...]

What a pleasure it was to read Peter Abbs's poem (The NS Poem: 'Iris Murdoch's Love', 22 January). The poem is beautiful, and so too was Iris Murdoch. Her tragic [...]

I agree with your leader ('The Big Tech reckoning', 15 January). Twitter was right to ban Donald Trump but it should be responsible for all the content on its website, [...]

Your leader is correct ('The careless Mr Johnson', 8 January). At every opportunity the government has dithered, allowing coronavirus to spread and people to die. It also touches on the [...]

As a young Lib Dem with huge respect and admiration for Vince Cable, I was surprised to be in profound disagreement with his article on free movement within the EU [...]

Fran Cowling's conduct towards Peter Tatchell clearly deserves ridicule and censure (Leader, 19 February). Before offering a wider diagnosis of campus close-mindedness, however, the New Statesman should do some investigative [...]

As an 18-year-old, I never experienced David Bowie in the way my parents did (Cover Story, 15 January), but I still miss him. To defy convention in the way Bowie [...]

Jason Cowley (Editor's Note, 10 July) is right to denounce the atrocious Rihanna video that appears to revel in misogyny and Clockwork Orange-style violence. Rather than promoting feminism, Rihanna's work [...]

Having read Mehdi Hasan's Lines of Dissent (13 February), I do believe now, more than ever, that the right brother became leader of the Labour Party. I get the impression [...]
