When the Labour Party chose Jeremy Corbyn as its leader, Peter Hitchens wrote an article for the Daily Mail asking whether the Conservative Party could choose a true conservative leader now that the Labour Party had a true socialist as theirs. What the Conservatives had as prime minister during Corbyn’s party leadership were three leaders […]
Christmas is upon us once more, which means we’re just a few eggnogs away from the New Year festivities and the concomitant shame of the ‘Honours List’. As is customary at The New Conservative, we tend to eschew the establishment devotion to cronyism – preferring to bestow our own awards. Fortunately, it’s been a bumper

Whether explicitly or implicitly, every MP believes that out of the roughly 70mn inhabitants of these islands, they are one of the 650 people most suited to ruling it. In this, most, if not all, are wrong. Before you ascribe this to cynicism or a certain disillusionment with the political process (neither entirely unfair), consider

The defining question of our time is surely whether Islam will adapt to Western values—or whether our cowardly leaders will force Western values to adapt to the 7th century barbarism they seem determined to import.

Known for their ethics of non-violence and the forgiveness of enemies, how easy it is for people who hate Christians to persecute them. Now if Jesus had advocated violence and conquest as a way of spreading the faith and had given his blessing to armed resistance and terrorism, potential persecutors would leave Christians well alone.
Archbishop Justin Welby has just announced that he is resigning for failing to bring the abusive Church of England lay reader John Smyth to justice. And it is about time too, for the stench of hypocrisy that emanates from Welby (and the self-righteous Smyth too) is worse than old sewage. Welby, who has thundered against

I am the father of two young daughters. They are more precious to me than everything else in the universe combined. I would die for them without a moment’s hesitation, and consider myself honoured to have been given the opportunity. Right now, they are being stolen from me before my eyes, and it is not

I can only ever recall one serious instance of moral cowardice in my life of which I am deeply ashamed. It occurred sometime between 1978 and 1983, in which years I was a Swillington Branch delegate to the General Management Committee (GMC) of the old Normanton Constituency Labour Party (CLP), which I joined aged 15.

According to a recent survey, pride in British history is at an all-time low, especially among 18 to 24 year-olds. This worrying trend doesn’t surprise me. Indeed, a revealing and sadly not uncommon conversation I had with a Year 10 class last term goes some way to explaining it. They asked me what I thought
