- Anti-immigration mood sweeping EU threatens its new asylum strategyby Jon Henley Europe correspondent on 27. september 2024 at 11:24

- Here’s how we can tackle the far-right surge | Letterby Guardian Staff on 19. september 2024 at 16:31
Jon Bloomfield responds to an article by Gordon Brown and his call for a progressive alternative to be developedGordon Brown starkly outlines the dangers of a far-right surge across the world in an important warning from a senior figure of the mainstream left (Europe is in thrall to the far right – that’s the result of appeasement by so-called moderates, 17 September). Crucially, he criticises the appeasement of the far right that the orthodox right and now, in France, the centre have been making.His call for the development of a progressive alternative is welcome. Yet it will only work if the roots of this far-right surge are acknowledged. As David Edgar and I show in our new study, The Little Black Book of the Populist Right, the far right is exploiting the void left by social democracy when it followed Francis Fukuyama and declared the end of class conflict in the 1990s.
