Ben Roback: Trump versus Khan proves the importance of long-term diplomacy

Our relationships with other countries are built and maintained by institutions on a generational basis, rather than presidential whim.

Marc Morrison: Corbyn is dangerously mistaken – abandoning the Middle East will make us less safe

The savage attacks we have witnessed must drive us to work more closely with our regional allies.

Douglas Carswell: Ten reasons to vote for Theresa May next Thursday

Her new administration would be on the right side on the big issues – Brexit, immigration, Islamism; and would likely feel its way towards the right answer on the economy and trade.

Garvan Walshe: Corbyn’s ideology blinds him to the true nature of terrorism

Marxism, that failed social science, leads him to focus on terrorists’ circumstances, not the beliefs which really drive them to kill.

WATCH: Davidson – “I know that the UK is a force for good in the world”

The Scottish Conservative leader criticised Jeremy Corbyn’s “simplistic” attempt to blame British foreign policy for the Manchester attack.

WATCH: Corbyn – “The blame is with the terrorists, but…”

The Labour leader pledged “change at home and abroad” would reduce the threat of terrorism.

Corbyn, terror’s useful idiot

There is no foreign policy that could appease the likes of the Manchester terrorists. Islamists damn us if we intervene, and damn us if we don’t.

Iain Dale: Reducing net immigration to the tens of thousands? It will never happen. And it shouldn’t.

Plus: A diplomatic success for Trump. A Love Actually moment, please, from May. And: has anyone seen Diane Abbott?

Alistair Burt: The electoral smoke thickens while the foreign policy challenge endures

The next few years abroad will be as absorbing as any in recent years, and will demand more of the new Tory intake’s attention than might be considered usual.

Macron’s win will enthuse Britain’s social democrats – who currently need all the cheering up they can get

Perhaps the reason why the Conservatives are marginalising them is that the former are shaping an electoral coalition big enough to include Leavers and Remainers.

Nadhim Zahawi: Why Trump should not simply strike out alone at North Korea

Any military action against the country would be highly likely to create huge regional instability, economic disruption, as well as potential wider war and loss of life.

Nicholas Mazzei: The Korean crisis highlights a stark truth. Britain is completely unprepared for war.

Outcries over the loss of soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq show that the British public is simply unwilling to see soldiers dying.

Iain Dale: Ignore the conventional wisdom. So far, Johnson has hardly put a foot wrong.

Plus: The coming local elections. My predictions – Liberal Democrats up, Conservatives up, UKIP down, Labour down – and maybe Corbyn out later this year.

Douglas Hansen-Luke: Here’s how we can help Syria – by feeding, educating and treating its refugees.

To advocate regime change without a plan for the future would be criminally negligent. What we can do is to influence, support and invest in the people of Syria.

Martin Parsons: For Syria to have a future, the West must stop jihadist genocide as well as Assad’s war crimes

Action must go beyond ISIS to prevent other, similarly-minded, jihadist groups prospering.
