Free speech lives here. Enjoy journalism that’s proud to share your values. One year for £29. |  | Sir Keir Starmer Prime Minister | Politicians on the Left and Right are considering how to counter a nativist populist Right.
On the Right, the debate over how the Conservatives should respond to the rise of Reform – either by aping them or creating clear blue water between them – has filled many Telegraph comment pages.
For parties on the Left, the rise of the populist Right presents a different challenge.
Clearly, the traditional class-based voting of the post-war period, when parties of the Left could count on automatic support from working-class voters, is a thing of the past. Populist parties of the Right do represent a challenge to the parties of the centre-Left throughout the world – but, as I will argue in a speech today, it is a challenge I believe we can rise to.
The first essential part in doing that is in recognising where some on the Left went wrong on the issue of immigration.
There is no doubt that for years Left-wing parties, including my own, did shy away from people’s concerns around illegal immigration. It has been too easy for people to enter the country, work in the shadow economy and remain illegally.
We must be absolutely clear that tackling every aspect of the problem of illegal immigration is essential. It is a complex problem requiring action right across government, and in the last few weeks we have seen the first flights returning people who have no right to be here.
The simple slogans offered by Reform will not do anything to resolve the problem. There is no silver bullet, but we must enforce every possible measure to deter migrants from entering British waters.

That is the dilemma faced by EU member states on Nato’s eastern flank as they meet today for the first discussions on their much-vaunted drone wall concept. It sounds ingenious, but there’s one potentially fatal flaw... a 96,000 sq metre flaw, to be precise: the Kremlin-friendly nation of Hungary.

Netflix ★★★☆☆ This new historical drama from Steven Knight, the creator of Peaky Blinders, follows the fortunes of the brewing dynasty in the late 19th century. The punchy opening episode has some of Knight’s calling cards: swagger, menace, a modern soundtrack and actors walking in slow motion while wearing stylish hats. But before long, it sinks into traditional period drama territory. If you’re in the market for a sweary Downton Abbey or The Gilded Age, this has enough to keep you entertained, writes Anita Singh. Film One Battle After Another ★★★★★ Leonardo DiCaprio tumbles through One Battle After Another looking like he’s fighting several conflicts simultaneously, on physical and mental fronts. In Paul Thomas Anderson’s madcap urban warfare thriller, he plays a former anti-government revolutionary jolted out of his 16-year retirement. DiCaprio astounds – frazzled and absurd, yet also sweet and even noble, he evokes Jack Nicholson in his prime, writes Robbie Collin.
(In cinemas now) Television The Hack
ITV1 ★★☆☆☆ ITV is hoping to repeat the success of Mr Bates vs the Post Office by condensing another unwieldy case into a primetime drama. The Hack chronicles efforts to uncover the tabloid phone-hacking scandal. It is written by Jack Thorne, fresh from his success with Adolescence, but he has failed to work the same magic. Essentially, it’s The Guardian: The Movie, and it’s cringeworthy, says Anita Singh. | Sweet dreams Every weekday, Orlando Bird, our loyal Reader Correspondent, shares an off-piste topic that has brought out the best of your opinions and stories. Orlando writes...
You know when you come across an article that appears to have been written specifically for you? Well, that happened to me this week with The Telegraph’s advice on how to “combat a night without sleep”. (Regular readers of this section will be aware that I have a very young daughter with a gift for almost operatic voice-projection at anti social hours.)
My addled brain generally struggles to come up with a remedy more inventive than “coffee on repeat”, but it turns out there are other options. And readers have been discussing their strategies, too.
Terry Blake “found that going for a four-mile run both re-energised my body and cleared my mind. It was the last thing I wanted to do, and the first mile was always absolute purgatory, but after that the running became increasingly easy. Once I’d had the shower at the end, everything was back to being hunky-dory”.
For those less inclined to run one sixth of a marathon, Judith Baker recommended some gentler activity: “My sleep is erratic, and on the days when I wake up and am not rested, I am a bear. Not pleasant to be around. That first walk in the morning does fix me a little. Carbs wear me out.”
And for those who don’t wish to move at all, Roger Collier suggested: “Listen to BBC Radio 4 and shout at the radio”.
Stephen Nix added: “Overall, I get a fair amount of good, solid sleep, but some nights – last night being a prime example – you wake at, say, 3.30am and know that is your lot. Sometimes, if you just can’t stay awake later in the day, a power nap of 30 minutes to an hour can do the world of good, even if you feel a bit groggy immediately after it.” I’ve never got the hang of power naps. For me, the groggy bit doesn’t tend to wear off. And besides, if you don’t work at home, where do you do it? Apparently, some years ago, the book cupboard at The Telegraph was a favoured spot. But we’re all far too professional for that now.
