When dealing with scumbags, ’Hit ‘em where it hurts’ is usually the best policy (whether one favours an attack to the wallet or the more traditional swift knee to the groin), and it certainly proved the right choice this week. As it turns out, University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill was perfectly willing to accept […]

It’s easier than you might think to topple a Conservative Prime Minister. All it required in the case of Boris Johnson, was an illicit ménage à trois with Mr Chandon and Mr Kipling; for Liz Truss, it was aggressive tax cuts that spooked the markets. Now it appears Rishi Sunak could be about to fall

Even if (like me) you know precious little about the law, the chances are you know one thing: Lady Justice is supposed to be blind. Equality before the law is a cornerstone of any functioning democracy, and is vital for social cohesion. Despite what we may have witnessed playing out on the streets of London recently (alongside

Whatever the populists might tell you, the big hoo-ha at Westminster this week wasn’t the millions of illegals flooding the country, the state-sponsored Jew-bashing on the streets of London, or the national debt approaching such gargantuan proportions that even David Lammy has refused to put it on expenses – no, it’s the refusal of Britain

In what was widely considered appeasement of the right of the Conservative Party (i.e. the actually conservative bit), Rishi Sunak shored up his cabinet in 2022 by reinstating Suella Braverman as home secretary. It is not without irony therefore that he proceeded to sack her earlier this month for her unexpected conservatism; nor was it likely
Whichever aphorism you favour: ‘Beggars can’t be choosers’ or ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’, the lexicon is replete with the age-old wisdom that assistance comes at a price. Such wisdom however may now be subject to rewriting (at least in Britain), after the Conservative government’s International Development white paper unveiled on Monday at

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the English language is capable of no finer put-down than the wonderfully pithy “couldn’t pull in a brothel”; it also sums up the ‘Conservative’ government’s determination to give the electorate anything other than what it actually wants. Indeed, if the aptly-named Jeremy Hunt were our fiscal

Yesterday’s historic Dutch election victory for Geert Wilders is nothing short of seismic. After 25 years as The Netherlands’ political bogeyman, Wilders’ Freedom Party (PVV) has won 37 of 150 parliamentary seats, well ahead of his nearest rival (ex-EU commissioner Frans Timmermans’ left-wing alliance) on just 25. For Wilders, 60, this is a far cry

While I’m very much the traditional, stiff-arsed Brit when it comes to interactions with other people, I have practically limitless affection for animals, and am never afraid to put it on display. Despite this, I’ve resisted the temptation to get a dog for over a decade, and not entirely without reason. For starters, my wife
The big story this week was the implosion at Tory HQ, as Rishi Sunak searched for a means to simultaneously sack Suella Braverman for flagrant conservatism, and continue passing the Tories off as ‘right-wing’. Both wings of the party (centrist and far-left) put their (dick)heads together, and mysteriously came up with the answer ‘David Cameron’.
