How many times have we heard victims of injustice or incident call for an inquiry to ensure that it “never happens again”? However, in almost all cases the inquiry, review, commission will lead to recommendations that do not address the root of the problem or they address a problem that doesn’t exist and can actually […]

Few people are impressed by the government’s flagship deterrent policy of deporting illegal migrants to Rwanda. Even those who support it acknowledge that the ensuing fight in the Lords, the inevitable court appeals, and the waiting spectre of the ECHR, with its likely imposition of legally disgraceful Section 39 rulings, reduce the chances of it

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

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

Despite copious evidence to the contrary, rumours remain rife that Rishi Sunak is still Prime Minister and that the Conservatives are ‘in charge’ of the county. How can this be? Like a sky diver without a parachute, some areas of the country are descending into enforced cultural enrichment the likes of which Enoch Powell could

No doubt it would have

Heavyweight showdowns rarely live up to their billing, and so it proved during this week’s highly-anticipated Westminster clash, which turned out to be more gunsmoke than gunfight. Despite the tough talk from rebel leader Mark Francois and his posse at the European Research Group, sheriff Sunak has forced them to holster their weapons (at least

It’s easier than you might think to topple a Conservative Prime Minister. All it required in the case of Boris Johnson, was an illicit ménage à trois with Mr Chandon and Mr Kipling; for Liz Truss, it was aggressive tax cuts that spooked the markets. Now it appears Rishi Sunak could be about to fall

In what was widely considered appeasement of the right of the Conservative Party (i.e. the actually conservative bit), Rishi Sunak shored up his cabinet in 2022 by reinstating Suella Braverman as home secretary. It is not without irony therefore that he proceeded to sack her earlier this month for her unexpected conservatism; nor was it likely
Yesterday’s historic Dutch election victory for Geert Wilders is nothing short of seismic. After 25 years as The Netherlands’ political bogeyman, Wilders’ Freedom Party (PVV) has won 37 of 150 parliamentary seats, well ahead of his nearest rival (ex-EU commissioner Frans Timmermans’ left-wing alliance) on just 25. For Wilders, 60, this is a far cry
