While the British media did not appear particularly interested, the turnout was certainly more enthusiastic than the Conservative sojourn in Manchester, […]

The Frank Report has just returned from the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool, and your correspondent couldn’t have gotten out of there fast enough; even with a first-class ticket on HS2! With the Tories about as effective as a Diane Abbott cue card, you’d expect Labour’s Fab Four (Starmer, Cooper, Lammy and Reeves) to resonate

It’s been a feature of successive Labour Party Conferences to promise the moon and stars—safe in

You can tell everything about the state of a political party by its autumn party conference. For the Conservatives, last week’s shindig held at Manchester’s Central Convention Complex had all the energy of an autopsy. If Rishi Sunak was hoping for a favourable eulogy however, he was to be disappointed. As you’d expect when you’re

Britain is the best country to be black in” Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch confidently informed the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester last Tuesday. Is she right? Perhaps, and then again perhaps not, particularly if you’re a black adolescent living in London. I can certainly think of a number of black teenagers, senselessly slain within the

In an ideal world, might we not hope our men live up to the expectation of unfaltering chivalry? Absolutely. But with misandrist feminists the norm, why on earth should they? What’s the point, when all you get is spit in the face? Feminism was undoubtedly once a noble cause, but its modern incarnation certainly isn’t. Dismissing male suicide, weaponising rape accusations, and using your sexuality as a battering ram ought to forfeit any woman her right to complain of unchivalrous treatment.

Immigration (particularly the illegal variety) is unquestionably the fundamental issue facing the West at this point in political history. Whatever side of the fence you sit on, you know that tough talk promising a crackdown on illegals, or compassionate noises about human rights is what translates into votes come election time. During a recent address to the American Enterprise Institute, a centre-right think tank in Washington DC, UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman certainly set out her stall early

I have no position on Brand’s innocence one way or the other, unless it is the general desire to see justice done – however, trial by social media cannot be the way to go. The legal process must be adhered to – if we managed it for Lucy Letby, we can just about stomach it for Brand.

Like the opening scene from Reservoir Dogs (if you assume the dogs had undergone a charisma bypass), Keir Starmer has taken to filming himself striding along the international thoroughfares – as though marching into battle against illegal immigration. First up was this Thursday’s meeting with Europol in The Hague, accompanied by Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper; followed by

We’ve all been there. Your dream job is up for grabs, yet your CV stares back at you, unremarkable and unworthy. What is one to do? A little embellishment couldn’t hurt, right? I mean, it’s not as if you’re going to get the job anyway. If you do, you’ll just have to show them what
