The nation’s attention may have switched to the Commonwealth Games this week, but the Frank Report remains concerned with the uncommon wealth vying for the keys to Downing Street. The Red Wall’s favourite billionaire, Rishi Sunak, may need to work a little on his ‘man of the people shtick’, but so too it seems does […]

Unlike politicians, the sun held up its end of the bargain this week. The extreme heat warning was even extended to the East of Scotland, where temperatures reached a staggering 30 degrees (and that’s before you get inside the kilt). Our beloved NHS set aside a tranche of its £190 Bn budget to inform us

Welcome to another edition of the Frank Report, and it’s more doom and gloom this week I’m afraid. Covid cases have hit a record high in the UK with daily symptomatic infections ‘soaring’ to 351,546. And yet, Britons are not nearly as terrified as they should be – only three in ten of us are

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 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
