Columnist Comments
• Howard Jacobson: We debase relationships with 'love you'
It conceals what we truly (madly, deeply) feel, especially from ourselves.
• Johann Hari: The truths Copenhagen ignored
Politicians have chosen low taxes and oil money today over survival tomorrow.
• Andrew Grice: Perhaps Labour is working after all
Cameron needs to paint a rosier picture than cuts, cuts and more cuts.
