This will be a familiar story to many around the UK, but here goes anyway. Ambitious, and dare I say it, possibly sensible plans for a Yorkshire-wide devolution deal (eight cities and a population almost the same as Scotland’s) really never went anywhere because of petty rivalries between cities and ridings. [You only need to […]

I was never convinced that we needed a Supreme Court. It was a Blairite concoction dreamed up in line with reducing the role of the House of Lords, which had served us well for centuries as the ultimate arbiter of legal cases, and a genuflection to the way things are run in our former colony

The current occupant of Number 10 Downing Street seems seized by religious fervour. Will we soon hear of a sudden conversion to one of the world’s major faiths? The problem is: which one? So far, we have had calls to prayer and iftars in Westminster acknowledged by Sir Keir in recognition of the special time

We are repeatedly told that we have a two-tier justice system in the UK. Frankly, that is a myth; we have a ‘no justice system’ in the UK. If justice, applied fairly after judgement, means that people get what they deserve in terms of punishment according to the law – no more and no less

Britain’s got a problem, and it’s not the one the chattering classes are bleating about. It’s not climate change, pronouns, or gaslighting Netflix series probing what’s gone wrong with boys. No, the real crisis is a hole in the nation’s heart—a gaping wound where loyalty, pride, and (dare one say it) the willingness to defend this Sceptred

In Britain today, there is no greater sin than being a straight white male. It’s a status that marks you as fair game for every sanctimonious outrage merchant, every box-ticking bureaucrat, and every two-bit activist with a grudge. And now, this grim reality is about to be chiselled into law. As I mentioned previously, we’re

The deplorable state of our armed forces – or what remains of them – could become a whole lot worse if some new ideas are implemented. Turns out our recruits, while undergoing boot camps, are not getting enough sleep and the proposed solution is to let them lie-in for an extra hour each day. At
The UK NHS, continuing its role as the vanguard of the woke, social justice intersectional politics movement, has been caught with its non-binary underpants around its knees and been told to gather data on the biological sex of patients. This must be serious as even The Guardian ran the story. Articles on the issue are
