America is rising against Trump
As Trump played the visiting emperor in China, it has become clear that all is not well in his American empire itself. Entropy made Trump; entropy will unmake him. In the same way that American liberalism ran itself down through the dysfunctions of neoliberalism, and woke into the disorder of Trumpism – as, according the laws of physics, a tidy kitchen will inevitably decline into a mess – so Trumpism is succumbing to its fundamental chaos.

How broken children became big business
It is hard to think of a more grotesque example of state failure. A 15-year-old girl is taken into protective care to escape sexual exploitation in south Wales.
