Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t expecting anything like an intelligent, nuanced and thoughtful response to the recent protests following the Southport murders. Statesmanship is not the St Pancras Pabloite’s forte. And Mr Starmer was in Magic Grandpa’s shadow cabinet, after all. But I was expecting at the very least a nod, albeit an insincere […]

According to the usual pearl-clutching commentariat and our cowardly elites, Israel is not doing enough to avoid civilian casualties in Gaza. Apparently over 30,000 civilians are dead, the majority of whom are women and children. To some, these distressing figures, fabricated by Hamas and enthusiastically announced by their cheerleaders in the western media, most notably

Arsenal’s woeful display against West Ham at ‘not-so-fortress’ Emirates last week robbed me of my only source of optimism for 2024.

Initially surprised by an unexpected foray into current affairs, I demurred from committing to a position, concerned that the wrong answer

Last week’s net migration figures were shocking. 745,000 more people came to the UK than left in 2022, 672,000 during the year to June 2023. The numbers are astronomical. Where will they be housed? I thought we were in the midst of an acute housing shortage? Where will their children go to school? And where,

Education secretary Gillian Keegan recently said that ‘white privilege’ does not exist. She also made clear that schools should not be teaching it as an irrefutable fact of life in modern Britain. This comes two years after former equalities minister Kemi Badenoch warned that teaching such questionable political ideas as uncontested truths is dangerous and, more to
