As the Labour Party ponders who its next leader should be, dealing with anti‐semitism within its ranks has become a touchstone issue. Ivor Gaber, who has watched anti‐semitism within Labour fester long before it hit the headlines, takes a personal view of its roots and consequences and recommends a possible way forward.

| Summary/Abstract |
Francis Fukuyama asks: 'Is liberal democracy prey to serious internal contradictions, contradictions so serious that they will eventually undermine it as a political system?' This paper argues that one of these 'internal contradictions' is the political communications process and it can be sufficiently serious to undermine the democratic system-but such an undermining is not inevitable.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article takes as its starting point the attack on the late Ralph Miliband, the left-wing intellectual and father of the current Labour leader Ed Miliband, by the Daily Mail in late 2013. It argues that this attack was a response by the Mail to its failed campaign to dub the Labour leader ‘Red Ed’. The article demonstrates that ever since Miliband won the Labour leadership in 2009, the Mail has sought to ‘other’ him by presenting him as ‘alien’—this by constant references to his Jewish background, his upbringing in a wealthy North London intellectual milieu, his supposed extreme left-wing views and his ineffable ‘oddness’—at least, an oddness as characterised by the newspaper. The paper will conclude by asking why the Daily Mail's ‘Red Ed’ moniker failed to catch on, while noting that their ‘Odd Ed’ moniker seems to have had more resonance.
