With the possible exception of the Great Fire of London, Britain has never needed a Thatcher more than it does now. Half a century on from the misery of the 1970’s, the nation is on her knees again (and I’m putting it politely). We may no longer be ‘the sick man of Europe’ (at least […]

‘The first casualty of war is the truth’ – that’s as true today as it’s always been, and never more so than in the wake of the Southport riots, which have finally claimed their first victim. No, not an illegal immigrant, safely ensconced in his four-star accommodation; not the wretched Old Bill, who heroically faced

One hundred days of Britain under Keir Starmer’s stewardship, and the Labour Party’s dedication to scandal is nothing if not impressive. Thus far, the front benches are replete with allegations of cronyism, bribery, and a taste for rather obvious double standards. Political nicknames usually take some time to forge, but not for ‘two-tier Keir’—whose evident

‘It’s a Man’s World’ James Brown mellifluously informed us back in the 1960’s. That might have been true once – it might even be true now, but unlike James we are forced to look further afield for our evidence. Assuming, as a man, you still wish to make the cars, the trains and the electric

Britain is floundering, there’s no getting away from it. As to why, you could write an encyclopaedia on the subject. The criminal absence of conservatism since Thatcher, to the extent that a third of the electorate mistook Keir Starmer for a viable political option outside of North Korea; insane virtue-signals like Net Zero, which sees

I am the father of two young daughters. They are more precious to me than everything else in the universe combined. I would die for them without a moment’s hesitation, and consider myself honoured to have been given the opportunity. Right now, they are being stolen from me before my eyes, and it is not

Presumably then, that makes a couple of months an eternity – particularly in the life of a newly-appointed MP. It was not so long ago after all, that Nigel Farage finally embraced Islamophobia; awarded his ‘I

Youth is famously wasted on the young, while old age comes to us all. But their distant cousin, middle age, may be the worst and the least-forgiving of the three acts of the lifespan. Trapped: no longer a child, yet unable to throw off the shackles of responsibility and give up caring completely, middle age

The Notting Hill Stabfest (sorry, ‘Carnival’) kicks off today! It’s amazing how quickly these family-friendly events creep up on you – assuming you haven’t already been stabbed this year and are therefore sadly out of commission? As a Londoner myself it’s great to see the capital’s traditions being honoured – with stabbing now as permanent

The fundamental principle of democracy is that change is effected peacefully by a vote at the ballot box, thereby removing the need for violent kicks to a sensitive area. Ineffectual or negligent governments can be removed and replaced by those more willing to enact the will of the populace. Unfortunately for Brits, the ballot box
