As a rule of thumb, the Frank Report endeavours to cover all the major stories from the past week. The resignation of Boris Johnson however, does require a little more than a paragraph. As the nation bids farewell to Bozza, stabbed in the back more times than a Julius Caesar understudy, we reflect on his […]

Welcome to a financially turbulent edition of the Frank Report. If you’re feeling the pinch these days don’t worry – you’re in good company. Even at the palace, rumours are that Her Majesty is having to tighten the purse strings. Since Covid, the Royal coffers are short to the tune of £14M, which leaves The

It’s been an abortion-heavy week, as the United States reappraises sanctity of life versus a woman’s right to choose. A cursory glance at the recent Supreme Court ruling appears to indicate America’s preference for chaperoning foetuses safely through the uterus, just long enough to give them the Covid vaccine; which should finish the job properly.

Welcome to a special Father’s Day edition of the Frank Report – the special being that in 2022, fathers are increasingly in short supply. As gas hits $5 a barrel, toxic masculinity it seems has done a runner. Prospective fathers are now shunning a bit of how’s your father, for fear of the dreaded monkeypox.

Another Sunday, another breakfast in bed (I trust?), and we look back on another Royal-heavy week together, as yesterday marked the Queen’s official 96th birthday. As one approaches one’s centenary, it would be nice to put one’s feet up a little. Sadly, I fear Her Majesty is going to spend the weekend deciding which member

Despite overwhelming pressure during my 43 years, I have thus far resisted the temptation to join the Diane Abbott fan club. Those familiar with my work will attest, I despise turning a blind eye to dodge the slurs of misogynoir which often protect such Labour MPs from legitimate criticism. Having said that, and notwithstanding the

Most of the news this week has been overshadowed by the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. We at The New Conservative sincerely congratulate the monarch – in a world of instability, sycophants and scumbags, she is what my dad would have referred to as ‘a stayer’. And although she has always pooh-poohed the idea of abdication,

So many ch-ch-changes at Pandemic HQ this week, David Bowie should be demanding royalties. The Monkeypox has now been permanently substituted for Covid, it seems. Wuhan’s top scorer had a blinding first half, but it’s been a while since it threatened a lockdown. Still, the new signing is already racking up the sponsorships deals. Belgium

Let’s get the obvious out of the way first. As I wrote two years ago, the murder of George Floyd was a monstrous crime. The image of Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck is a repugnant sight. George was no saint, but the police have a duty of protection to all, not just the good

Anyone planning on playing pandemic this weekend will be waking up to bad news: Covid infections are down again to 1 in 50 according to the Office for National Statistics. Still, if you can’t live without your mask and your 17th booster shot hope is at hand in the form of monkeypox. Our primate cousins
