The Frank Report XLIII

Welcome to this week’s edition of the Frank Report, where we find the curtains inside Number 10 slightly altered, but the sewage emanating from the bathrooms much the same. Rishi Sunak has done well (not just in lasting a week), but in presenting himself as an alternative to the similarly-named former Chancellor who presided over […]

The Frank Report XLII 

Welcome to a reluctant Halloween edition of the Frank Report – reluctant, because Halloween must be the stupidest Americanism since the insistence on Starbuck stores no more than 100M apart. Scaring the shit out of us this week is newly-crowned PM, Rishi Sunak, who has opted to dispel the myth that he’s a globalist puppet

The Frank Report XLI

In the end it’s hard to say what Truss did worse during her short tenure of Number 10: the U-turns, the appointment of Hunt, or replacing Suella Braverman with the anti-Brexit, globalist, Net Zero aficionado Grant Shapps – the political equivalent of trying to pass off dog shit as an after-dinner mint.

Time for Britain to euthanise the Conservative Party

While the political Right is enjoying something of a renaissance across Europe (Giorgia Meloni’s victory in Italy, Marine Le Pen’s great advances in France, and Jimmie Åkesson’s meteoric rise in Sweden), ironically in Britain, 12 years of ‘conservative’ government hasn’t translated into anything even vaguely resembling a conservative agenda. A major contributing factor to that

Policing the response to crime

A good litmus test of a functioning democracy is the efficacy and neutrality of its law enforcement.

The Frank Report XL

Welcome to this week’s edition of The Frank Report, the review that always has its finger on the pulse – and that’s no mean feat, considering the state of the Conservative Party. As the bodycount piles up outside Number 10, the Tories may be more in need of a coroner than a cabinet reshuffle. Yes,

Frank Report XXXIX

Welcome to the latest edition of the Frank Report, where you find the nation in striking mood. First it was barristers, then the nurses, but leading the charge is the RMT’s aptly-named Mick Lynch, who’s never met a walkout he couldn’t justify. This time round, Lynch is demanding six months of misery or a seven

RIP Your Majesty

So passes Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith. De Mortuis Nil Nisi Bonum as the saying goes, and indeed—the odd ill-judged Twitter malcontent aside—can anyone find anything genuinely disparaging to say about her late Majesty? If you’ll indulge me, I’d like to begin with my own personal grief on the
