Earlier this month, Reform UK, Nigel Farage’s latest political incarnation, proposed one of the sharpest political ideas of modern times: to site new migrant detention centres in areas that vote heavily for the Green Party, which famously advocates for a “world without borders”. Likely locations include the historic Green Party stronghold of Brighton, but after […]
Reform’s Radical Agenda: Give the Voters What They Want Read More »
Imagine this scenario: Reform UK and the Green Party are the only two options, with the result hanging on a single vote. You still haven’t marked your ballot. Not voting hands victory to the Greens. Voting Reform forces a re-vote. You choose not to vote. One year later, Muslim gangs are roaming the streets, rubber
There have been many moments throughout the past two years when one might have expected Sir Keir Starmer to do the decent thing and fall on his sword. The disgraceful 19-second wreath-laying in Southport, after the slaughter of Bebe, Elsie and Alice, should have ended his premiership on the spot as far as I was

I went to bed on Thursday expecting to wake up in the People’s Republic of Faragia. That didn’t happen. Firstly, the count didn’t start until 9am and secondly, the Tories won the most seats. When the dust settled, in my target seat (although not a top target), it hadn’t even been that close. Still, that minor wrinkle aside, Reform had good local elections. A
With the votes finally tallied from last week’s local elections, most of the attention is rightly on the success of Reform UK. Close to the dream figure of 1,500 council seats, control of 14 councils and 26% of the national vote, Farage couldn’t have asked for more. There is another side to the centrist collapse

In a quiet corner of the Strangers’ Bar, the lights are low, the mood lower, and the glasses significantly cleaner than the members’ consciences. George, the bartender, has seen it all – Remainer hysterics after Brexit, tear-sodden Tory rosettes discarded after the last general election, and the quiet front-bench despair that accompanies the latest dire

Britain heads to the polls today, in what promises to be one of the most consequential sets of elections in a generation. Across England’s council chambers, Scotland’s Holyrood and Wales’s Senedd, the ballot boxes are likely to deliver a verdict that the comfortable sofas at Westminster have long tried to ignore: Keir Starmer’s Labour government
Reform’s Reckoning: Judgement Day for Starmer and Labour Read More »
Keir Starmer entered Downing Street promising the political equivalent of a monastery. He was silent on matters of substance, except to say that his administration would be founded on integrity, service, and an end to scandal; government “whiter than white”, with the adults, finally, back in the room. No more circus. No more rogues. Just

In a quiet corner of the Strangers’ Bar, the lights are low, the mood lower, and the glasses significantly cleaner than the members’ consciences. George, the bartender, knows better than to ask questions. He just pours. Most nights it’s half-empty – a few lobbyists nursing grievances, the odd backbencher hiding from the whip, and the
