Churchill’s old maxim, “The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter” certainly has an element of truth to it; and perhaps more so, if the voter in question happens to live in Wellingborough. For that’s what we witnessed during the more pertinent of last Thursday’s by-elections, whereby the weary right-of-centre […]
Forget the Tories, Is It Time to Reform the Electorate? Read More »
(Photograph: Derek Bennett, CC BY 2.0 <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0>, via Wikimedia Commons) The political eyes of Britain will turn this week to Wellingborough: a Northamptonshire constituency and safe Tory seat, since the incumbent Peter Bone’s election in 2005. A by-election was triggered last year however after Bone’s suspension from the Commons, and in light of the parliamentary
Wellingborough: Can Reform UK Replace the Tories? Read More »
If the Gucci-heeled Downing Street dwarf Rishi Sunak could jump high enough he’d undoubtedly be met by two slaps in the face later this week, as by-elections are about to be held in the comparatively safe Conservative seats of Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, and Kingswood, South Gloucestershire. Replacements have been called for the aptly-named Peter Bone, who

When I was a child, the BBC was unquestionably the home of quality television. Who can forget the magical 1984 Christmas treat, “The Box of Delights,” or the comedy genius of “Blackadder” and “Only Fools and Horses”? “Doctor Who” even had my father glued to the screen back in the 1980s. Times change, however. Thanks
Diversity: Such a Strength, the BBC Has To Enforce It Read More »
Of all the crises afflicting the West, the rejection of truth in favour of fashionable lies is conceivably the most dangerous. And nowhere is the woke war on reality more apparent than in ‘Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion’ (DEI). As more and more industries are overrun by this bilge, our nations race to unlearn the truths

Welcome to the latest instalment of The Frank Report, where you find me in unusually fine fettle. While practically every other middle-aged ne’er-do-well in the vicinity has now had their regulation state-sponsored heart attack, my myocarditis appears as yet in its infancy. Forced at gunpoint to have the initial two doses of the clot-shot, I

Most of the current debate in UK politics revolves around what happens to the Right after they lose the next general election, rather than the Left when they win it. Will the Conservative Party face mere defeat or annihilation? Will the Reform Party finally translate decent poll ratings into seats under Richard Tice, or will
Corbyn Poised to Unite the Far-Left? Read More »
Welcome back to The Frank Report and to 2024, I trust the New Year is living up to your expectations thus far? The big story this week (at least for my money), was the shock revelation that Jeremy Corbyn is poised to set up a ‘real Labour Party’ to challenge Keir Starmer. As far-fetched as it

As a child of the eighties, I recall with great fondness the Christmases of my youth: full of stinging cold winters, and reassuring fireside warmings up; snowball fights and tobogganing; turkey dinners and endless festivities. They provided the perfect segue into the new year, with its accompaniment of bonfires, piping hot jacket potatoes, and mesmerising
Europe 2024: New Year, New War-Zone Read More »
With the Christmas turkey now much like the Conservative Party, all but consigned to the dustbin of history, the New Year festivities are drawing in. What better time to honour the movers and shakers who laboured night and day to make 2023 the unmitigated disaster it was? And if Liz Truss is free to bestow
