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

The well-publicised case of the Waspi women (Women Against State Pension Inequality) is far more intriguing for what is not being said, than for that which is. For those unfamiliar with the story, the campaign dates back to the John Major government and the 1995 Pensions Act, which decided to gradually equalise the disparate retirement ages for

(Photograph: Anything Goes With James English, CC BY 3.0 <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0>, via Wikimedia Commons) Keir Starmer’s callous dismissal of legitimate concerns over the Southport murders, was a major contributory factor to the riots we have witnessed over the past week. That view is shared by a wide cross-section of the electorate, including 48% of Conservative voters

Welcome to the latest edition of The Frank Report where, contrary to form, the laughs are a bit thin on the ground. In fact, you find us in mourning. Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine, were brutally slain in Southport earlier this week; the latest in a long line

In the first big test of his premiership, Keir Starmer has addressed the ‘far-right’ riots in response to the Southport murders. For anyone vaguely familiar with the concept of cause and effect, it was always obvious which part of the equation Starmer would be most keen to highlight. Statesmanship and leadership are ethereal concepts at

Southport is the end of the line for me, I’m afraid. I refuse to play this game any longer. So “No” Prime Minister Starmer, you do not speak for me – I am not remotely ‘shocked’ that the caravan of mass slaughter has made an unscheduled stop in Southport. “Au contraire”, your Majesties, I do

As the red dawn breaks in the aftermath of the general election, it’s time to take stock. Keir Starmer’s victory may be about as convincing as Jeremy Corbyn’s tailor, but he is nonetheless safely ensconced inside Number 10. The media meanwhile are too busy fixating on the right-wing fracture in UK politics to notice the

I’m sure other people’s noise didn’t use to bother me nearly as much as it does now. For a while I assumed it was simply a facet of age; and yet when I bring this up with my close friends, none of them report a similar experience (at least those who heard me ask the
