As Rishi Sunak deliberates on whether to sack her, it’s important to note […]

The Cenotaph

A Storm is Brewing

The British are among the most mild-mannered people in the world. We apologise to the waiter when the food is not up to snuff; we say sorry when others mumble and we cannot understand what they’ve said; we even offer a mea culpa to those who career into us along the pavement, as though it

The Frank Report LXVIII

As any observant reader of The Frank Report will know, we have it on the good authority of Billy Ocean that “when the going gets tough, the tough get going”. Too bad the Billy Liars in Westminster favour a different aphorism, particularly when it comes to the pro-Palestinian ‘protests’ sweeping the capital: “when the jihadi shit

Keir Starmer

Starmer’s Dilemma

Political nicknames are not always on point. But in the case of Keir Starmer, the soubriquets of ‘Flipflop’ and ‘Captain Hindsight’ could hardly be closer to the money. In fact, there’s rarely been a politician more willing to straddle both sides of the fence than Sir Keir. On the issue of the Israel-Palestine war however,

Too white

“Too White” 

“Too white” has long been the war cry of the anti-western, anti-democratic, anti-white rabble, which finds itself tragically addicted to white, democratic, western nations. Marketing their vitriol as ‘diversity’ rather than division, these parasitic organisms have had a good run. Unfortunately they may have been so thorough, they could now be running out of road.

Boring

The Benefits of Being Boring

One of the joys of editing a small magazine is the unexpected perks it brings. It’s far easier for instance, to make contacts and secure requests for interviews as Editor of The New Conservative, than it is as a mere mortal. However, undoubtedly my favourite benefit is the endless line of scams one is subjected

The Frank Report LXVII

Apologies in advance for the markedly slimmed-down version of today’s Frank Report. As the better half of clan Haviland malingers in hospital with pneumonia, that leaves me quite literally holding the baby – and there are only so many words you can type while simultaneously cooking, wiping arses, and role playing Peppa Pig. Excuses duly

The Frank Report LXVI

The Frank Report is proud to be your go-to summary of political shenanigans, and our latest instalment is no exception. The major news from Westminster this week, was that Keir Starmer’s Labour have taken the safe Tory seat of Tamworth, with the second-highest ever by-election swing of 23.9%. Respected psephologist Sir John Curtice, commented that “no government
