It’s been a long time coming, but finally, inexorably, like a Wuhan lab leak, the truth about Covid-19 appears to be seeping out. Short of running the world’s largest Excel spreadsheet on ‘conspiracy theories which came true’, it appears safe to say that the anti-vaxxers and covidiots among us (other slurs are available from those […]

Ladies and gentlemen, I regret we need to have a word about Rishi. While many gaffes and faux pas may be overlooked in public life, an ostensive lack of patriotism from a sitting Conservative Prime Minister is unlikely to be forgiven – particularly with an election merely weeks away. When the likes of Jeremy Corbyn

If you’ve spent any length of time becoming good at something, it’s rather depressing to acknowledge that artificial intelligence is destined to prove the death of it. Obviously as a writer, I’m concerned that the neural networks will inevitably outsource my ability to procrastinate, drink tea, and occasionally come up with a half-decent one-liner. Evidently,

What promised to be the dullest general election in living memory has finally been shaken out of

For this he deserves praise and reproach in equal measure: praise for

Telling people what they do not wish to hear is a dangerous business. As George Bernard Shaw put it: ‘If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh otherwise they’ll kill you’. History alas is hardly testament to mankind’s bonhomie, awash as it is with the bodies of those who died for their

It’s hard to make the past 14 years of Tory incompetence look polished, but Rishi Sunak certainly made a good fist of it during Wednesday’s farcical performance outside Number 10. Standing in the pissing rain with nothing to accompany him except the jeers of that megaphoned jackass, Steve Bray, and the New Labour theme tune

As a commentator on UK politics, it seems the good news get fewer and further between these days. That could of course be down to the fact that I’m a miserable bastard, a decade past my sell-by date; it could also be that Britain is drowning in a sea of its own piss. This week’s
